May I remove the fontconfig/MESSAGE? It sure does not seem like it really 
needed. It is only a suggestion to possibly speed up sopme application 
startups. The library will build caches for individuals as needed. Or 
maybe someone can suggest an alternative wording for MESSAGE.

There is a manpage for fc-cache(1) -- but it is in SGML. I will ask the 
developer to provide it in nroff man format also.

Also, I had old fontconfig-2.2.96 on a NetBSD and Linux system which 
provided libfontconfig.so.1.0.4.

And now a new fontconfig-2.3.2 also provides same version: 
libfontconfig.so.1.0.4.

I see this is defined with configure

LT_CURRENT=1
LT_REVISION=4
AC_SUBST(LT_CURRENT)
AC_SUBST(LT_REVISION)
LT_AGE=0

I think something may have been missed and I asked developer about this.

Also the following is update to new version. The changelog is at 
http://www.fontconfig.org/release/ChangeLog-2.3.2

Note in the Makefile I remove gnome from CATEGORIES.

Also, I redo the added font paths because ${LOCALBASE}/lib/X11/fonts is 
already default as configured above, so don't need to add again. And don't 
need to list sub-directories of "fonts" because fontconfig already looks 
in sub-directories too. I have been using this over a year on various 
systems like this.

p.s. When doing print-PLIST I saw the etc files. I need to check to see 
why print-PLIST saw them for me.
