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

[Pavel Koshevoy]

OK, I think I've figured how to auto generated the fccase.h, fclang.h, 
and fcglyphname.h with cmake. I've sent a patch for review.  I wouldn't 
mind having a look at the .def file though.

Thank you,
     Pavel.
