Well, this follow-up is several magnitudes more late...

It seems that the patch never got committed to the main repository.

I have now forward-ported it so that it merges cleanly with the HEAD
of the current git master branch
(183dbf3249e8db2398b63a749eb010bc0a89dc35).

In the process I've updated it to use the same configuration options as
for the fontconfig/WIN32 selection, as well as attempted to fix the
issues you reported below:

CMakeList.txt updated accordingly. ~7 years is quite a bit of delay...

It looks like it should be compatible with GPL, I did search for an
alternative implementation, but didn't find anything suitable.

Fixed.
