Wiki usually contains more info and useful user feedback. So is it
possible to recover that page to ensure that nothing important was
lost?

Currently it is done with
    env.ParseConfig("pkg-config --libs --cflags $PKGCONFIG_FLAGS
pango" + backend + version_arg)
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob/master/scons/pango.py#L22

but it assumes that I have development libs installed on the system in
appropriate location. I am on Windows. But even on Linux I'd prefer not
to install anything anyway just to compile one package. So instead I
unpack http://win-builds.org/doku.php/1.5.0_packages#pango_1341-1_-_library_for_layout_and_rendering_of_text
and need to find all files there.

Is that feasible?

I also found this on PyPI - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pykg-config/1.3.0
which seems like it may help.
