/libexec and /lib aren't really the correct locations for a
configuration file like this.
I think in the mutlilib cases I'd like to move the config file a
directory deeper so /etc/pango/${baselib}/pango.modules in the mutliib
cases. The standard system file would remain in its existing location.

Richard
