Libtool-2.2 introduces new restrictions. So now it does not allow LT_*
variables as it includes marcros:

m4_pattern_forbid([^_?LT_[A-Z_]+$])

Rename the LT_ variables to LIBT_ to work around this restriction.

Fix a couple of longstanding problems with fontconfig on Windows that
manifest themselves especially in GIMP. The root cause to the problems is in
Microsoft's incredibly stupid stat() implementation. Basically, stat()
returns wrong timestamp fields for files on NTFS filesystems on machines
that use automatic DST switching.

See for instance http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154968 and
http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/dstbugs.asp

As fccache.c now looks at more fields in the stat struct I fill in them all.
I noticed that fstat() is used only on a fd just after opening it, so on
Win32 I just call my stat() replacement before opening instead...
Implementing a good replacement for fstat() would be harder because the code
in fccache.c wants to compare inode numbers. There are no (readily
accessible) inode numbers on Win32, so I fake it with the hash of the full
file name, in the case as it is on disk. And fstat() doesn't know the full
file name, so it would be rather hard to come up with a inode number to
identify the file.

The patch also adds similar handling for the cache directory as for the fonts
directory: If a cachedir element in fonts.conf contains the magic string
"WINDOWSTEMPDIR_FONTCONFIG_CACHE" it is replaced at runtime with a path under
the machine's (or user's) temp folder as returned by GetTempPath(). I don't
want to hardcode any pathnames in a fonts.conf intended to be distributed to
end-users, most of which who wouldn't know how to edit it anyway. And
requiring an installer to edit it gets complicated.

These two names are typos of the correct names. Instead of simply changing
them, the correct thing to do is leave them in the library, add the correct
functions and mark them as deprecated so any source packages will be updated.

This requires bumping the minor version of the library (for adding APIs)
instead of bumping the major version of the library (for removing APIs).

Existing Solaris workaround was broken; mis-matching values caused the test
for libiconv to always fail.

VPATH builds without doctools breaks as it cannot find the distributed
pre-formatted documentation.

Expose ability to build an FcPattern directly from an FT_Face
object.

Prefer random over lrand48 over rand

Instead of attempting to track exported symbols manually in
fontconfig.def.in, build it directly from the public fontconfig header files
to ensure it exports the public API.

Add conf.avail to configure.in

Add install: target to conf.d/Makefile.am to
create the initial symlinks to conf.avail

Borrowing header stuff written for cairo, fontconfig now exposes in the
shared library only the symbols which are included in the public header
files. All private symbols are hidden using suitable compiler directives.

A few new public functions were required for the fontconfig utility programs
(fc-cat and fc-cache) so those were added, bumping the .so minor version number
in the process.

Detect GCC and use #warning only on GCC systems.

Map existing architecture signature to short architecture name
at build time. This architecture name is (as yet) unused, but will be used
to build per-architecture cache files with names made unique by including
the architecture name. The auto-detected architecture name can be overridden
with the --with-arch=ARCH configure option.

Make cache directories configurable. Simplify and correct some code which
    deals with per-directory caches.

Make fontconfig compile under MinGW:
1) remove unneeded #includes;
2) make use of mmap and sysconf conditional;
3) replace rand_r by srand/rand if needed;
4) use chsize instead of ftruncate; and
5) update libtool exports file

Require pkg-config. (Thanks Behdad; better solution wanted for libxml2
    detection!)

Also, autogen.sh now needs the additional parameter
--localstatedir=/var.
