>Description:

	     fc-cache from fontconfig pkg needs a lot of time.
	     it should display a warning somewhere, as users 
	     (just like me) could be unsure if it really does
	     something, or is just locked in an infinite loop.
	     
	     On my Duron 700 MHz box it took about 6 minutes
	     to run - and I have just standard X fonts and MS
	     Webfonts (.ttf)
	     
>How-To-Repeat:

	     Install fontconfig, run fc-cache.
	     
>Fix:

	     A warning should be displayed (or some kind of progress
	     bar), so the user will know the program is working, and 
	     has not been locked up in an infinite loop.
