xft switched to pkgconfig instead of having a separate -config script.
I meant to mention this to the list, but I like to provide solutions
when I do and I didn't feel like wrangling with autoconf. I promptly
forgot about it.

I did, however, make a workaround at the time: I'm attaching a
fontconfig-config script which is basically just a wrapper around
pkgconfig. The script's not perfect, but it works well enough to
compile fvwm.
