Hi Juha,

In addition to what Cosimo said, it might be worthwhile to remember that 
it's not strictly necessary to have config.h for your eventual build.  
Wherever config.h gets #included in Harfbuzz, there's usually a guard, 
like this:-

       #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
       #include "config.h"
       #endif

I build from git (using a VC project, rather than using nmake).  My 
project doesn't define HAVE_CONFIG_H and yet it's never caused any 
problems AFAIK.

John
