It seems that we need libfontconfig.so at run-time whichever we want to 
use FT2 or Xft
backends. What other files are required to install for run-time? 
etc/fonts.conf and
etc/fonts.dtd are perhaps. Anything else?

Yes, actually - I'm seeing one on Solaris build - after installing expat 
and fontconfig.

    configure: error: Library requirements (xft >= 2.0.0) not met; 
consider adjusting the    
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a 
nonstandard prefix so
    pkg-config can find them.

should it be in bugzilla?
