IMO, it's better to have binaries without; I can't really imagine
the capability being needed.

 - Any time fontconfig/freetype get used without the user intending
   it will be weird, because there will be too font

 - It's very hard to use them *while* intending it... you can't 
   choose the font backend for the toy API. (nor can you chose the
   cairo font backend when using cairo with Pango)

And being able to provide one DLL, without piling
fontconfig/freetype/exim is quite a nice thing.
