[Fontconfig] fontconfig.pc variable for configdir (Was Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] X11R7.6 font modules)

[Jeremy Huddleston]

How would you guys feel about adding a variable to fontconfig.pc that could be queried to find out what confdir was set to?  We build fontconfig with:

--with-confdir=$X11_PREFIX/lib/X11/fontconfig

and it would be nice if this was used as the default by other packages.
