Thanks Alberto!

I see two different cases:

  - The various PangoAttr* are not boxed separately as they "subclass"
PangoAttribute without a real object system.  See bug 646788 for example.

  - The other cases (PangoEngineShape, etc) are protected behind
PANGO_ENABLE_ENGINE, and perhaps some behind PANGO_ENABLE_BACKEND.  Those APIs
are less stable than the base API and may change between release cycles.  Not
sure they are worth binding. (ie, do we support someone implementing a Pango
backend in Python?  Maybe...)
