I tried building guile-rsvg from core-updates and the build failed with three missing pango libraries (ld could not find -lpangocairo-1.0, -lpangoft2-1.0, and -lpango-1.0). I tried moving pango from the inputs to the propagated-inputs for librsvg, and that fixed the build of guile-rsvg. I'm just not sure if that is the right place to propagate it; I haven't yet traced where the pango libraries are being added to the linking command, as I've checked the pkgconfig files for librsvg, cairo, and a couple of other packages and not seen references to pango (which is what makes me think the pango propagated-input is needed elsewhere, and not actually in librsvg--but I also don't know Rust or what dependencies the rust code in librsvg has).

That's great, thanks for taking a look. Efraim mentioned that there would be Rust changes for it.
