Keith,

The acutual fix is rather trivial, becuase you didn't really "loose" 
anything by moving to Automake.  Attached is a patch which resurrects 
and properly generates fontconfig-config.  Also included in the patch is 
a new AM_CONDITIONAL to handle shared library generation on native 
Cygwin builds.  Yes, Cygwin is different from mingw, in that we are 
targeting Cygwin/XFree86 rather then the generic w32api.  Anyhow, it was 
fairly trivial to add that support in.  Also, I've cleaned up the 
configure.in a bit to be more in compliance with the current autoconf 
standards.  Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Nicholas

	* Makefile.am: Resurrect fontconfig-config.in and configure the
	Makefile to install it.

	* configure.in: Fix deprecated use of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE by
	moving package name & version to AC_INIT.  Add AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR
	macro for source directory detection.  Add a new AM_CONDITIONAL
	check "OS_CYGWIN" for proper handling of native Cygwin (XFree86)
	builds.  Fix some Autoconf quoting.  Fix deprecated use of
	AC_OUTPUT by moving arguments to the new macro AC_CONFIG_FILES.
	Add the newly resurrected fontconfig-config to AC_CONFIG_FILES
	and make it executable.

	* fontconfig-config.in: Resurrect from 2.1.X and update the
	"version" output variable substitution to reflect recent changes.

	* src/Makefile.am: Fix an obvious cut&paste error in OS_WIN32's
	install-libtool-import-lib statement.  Add a conditional statement
	for Cygwin to handle the shared-library generation in the newer
	libtools.
