fontconfig-2.1.92 considered harmful

[CARTER Anthony]

Originally (end of last week) there was a loop where the xft had a looping 
dependency that caused an "out of swap space" bug appearing while compiling 
Mesa (among others).

What version of Xft are you using?

Maybe it is not related, but I am running latest XFree and KDE and Xclock and 
fontconfig without any problems so far ;)
