[Fontconfig] CMakeLists.txt for fontconfig library (enables native compilation on windows)

[Pavel Koshevoy]

Turns out the only reason my cmake project worked was because I had 
previously run ./configure and it generated those .h files for me.  I 
need to figure out a way to generate them via cmake instead.  I would 
appreciate if you would share your vs2008 project.

Thank you,
     Pavel.
