Well, that assumption sounds a bit wrong. the issue isn't only to determine the
fonts directory. you need to set the cache directory too and AFAIK the main
customers for fontconfig usually bundles the library and fonts.conf. which
means they have own certain directories as well.
plus, you'll miss the way of the customization in this manner. I got the point
but I don't think that is worth merging into the master.

We may need to do things in DllMain() for static linking like:

void
win32init(void) __attribute__((constructor))
{
[...]
}

in gcc extension as well as something in the way of MSVC and so on.
