After a bit of reading, I believe it may be possible to do this by
making t4k_common a regular shared library, and having t4k_common use
dlopen() to call the needed function from SDL_Pango or SDL_ttf at run
time:

But let's defer this until we get our mainstream use cases fully supported.

Best,

David
