--- Comment #8 from Dirk <tomsies at mighty.co.za> ---
OK, after a lot of investigation I see that the issue comes about because I
have compiled the fontconfig library as static. The result of this is that all
of the tricks used in fontconfig to determin the location of the default
fonts.conf file are failing. Why; because DllMain in fcconfig.c will never
execute with a staticly bound object.

I make an assumption here that you guys will be in a better possition to
answer: Namely that under windows a default fonts.conf is not required! Unless
one chooses to explicitly override the fonts.conf with an application specific
directory (via an environment variable), the default answer is going to be
Windows Font Directory - with no fonts.conf required.

Given this assumption, I submit some patches that should not impact in any way
existing functionality, but adds a "catch all" fonts config of Windows Fonts
Directory in the event that the existing code does not a good answer.

Comments / evaluation / and etc. are welcome.
