--- Comment #12 from Dirk <tomsies at mighty.co.za> ---
Yeah, I get your point also (with respect to stuff in fonts config other than
the fonts and cache directory) Note that the patch does achieve a cache
directory.

The (unpatched) code aleady makes effort to get the executable directory in the
event that dllMain is not invoked and then use that as a basis for fonts.conf
aquisition. Problem is that this executable will whatever the "run" directory
is at invokation i.e. equivalent to pwd.

In the event of a static link, I dont know of a way to get back to the
directory of the statically linked library from the executable? For example if
the library sits in /usr/local/lib, and my statically linked executable sits in
/opt/somestuff/bin, the closest I can come to finding a runtime directory will
be /opt/somestuff/bin with (to my limited knowledege) no way of getting back to
/usr/local/lib.
