[ANNOUNCE] X11R7.6 font modules

[Jeremy Huddleston]

But fontconfig can change it to something that isn't even named "fonts":

  --with-confdir=DIR            Use DIR to store configuration files (default /etc/fonts)

What about my proposal to add a variable to fontconfig.pc which can be used as default or overridden with an '--with-fontconfigdir=DIR' confopt.  If the fontconfig.pc installed doesn't know the variable, we can default to $(sysconfdir)/fonts
