People are already free to use liblayout, so there's really no need for
us to throw it in. Furthermore, the source (to my knowledge) is not
available, which sort of defeats the purpose. There will not be
font-sensitive layout in R1. It would require some kind of catastrophe
for it to not be in R2, but it will definitely not be in R1.
