Figured it out [Was: 0.18 build problem]

Thank you, that is indeed a very good point! They're done "in parallel" with
fontconfig before Xft (it runs configure for both, make for both, then make
install for both, so yes, fontconfig is not *installed* before Xft is
configured/built).

This is a tough one to solve (as is the Xrender problem), because keithp has
distributed them in a very wacky manner. I thought my pretty little hack in
GARNOME was good enough...

So, it makes sense that it works on my system, because I already have this
stuff installed before GARNOME even starts.

Yeesh! :-) I'll figure something out for the next release.
