I have no idea why gobjectIntrospection even was in here. The only
library in there, libgirepository-1.0.so, is not used by awesome. It is
only used by lgi.so and that means it should be found via its RPATH.
The Pango path is not needed in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ever since
gobjectIntrospection started patching .typelib files with absolute
paths. Relevant commits are 36bef2b267 from 2014
("gobject-introspection: refer to shlibs with absolute paths in
typelibs") and c420de6b05 from 2016 ("gobject-introspection: Fix
patching shared objects").
The above patches did not work for cairo, because cairo's typelib is a
bit "special". However, this was fixed by e44038bcca some days ago
("gobjectIntrospection: use absolute path for cairo GIR").
Thus, setting $GI_TYPELIB_PATH is enough so that all needed libraries
are found.
