Ugg.

Ryan, don't push the 2.9.0 yet then.  Let's sort out the version change.

Akira, is fontconfig-2.9.0 really not binary compatible with the fontconfig-2.8.0 ABI?  Was this library version bump accidental?  If so, you should really get out a 2.9.1 ASAP and pull this 2.9.0 verison.  If the binary incompatibility was intended, then this should've been released as 3.0 and called out in the release notes.  This is a huge issue for packagers and needs to be called out.
