which allows at the very least to compile with USE_PANGO_WIN32 again.

It disables all OpenType features and there's apparently some glitch with setting font-style initially, so some work is necessary to bring it up to speed again.

One thing we could think about is making this a preference, so Windows users can decide whether they want to use the native pango_win32 backend or the freetype backend.

@Tavmjong: Do you know if there are any plans to add support for OpenType features to Pango's win32 backend and/or HFONT support to harfbuzz?
