harfbuzz is just one component needed to render complex scripts & opentype.
Toolkits should use an upper layer like pango or pango-cairo instead of using
harfbuzz directly.

And pango has been available for a long time (and is hiding the harfbuzz
changes) so toolkit authors should not hide behind harfbuzz creation. Harfbuzz
is just a re-factorization of what's been in pango & qt all along.
