This is getting a little off-topic, but for headers, symlinking is not
necessary, pango.h could be automatically replaced by the absolute file
name /gnu/store/.../include/pango.h in gtk4's header, see attachement.
(Idea suggested by lilyp on IRC).  It needs some more work though,
see TODO's and lack of documentation.
