patch

When building X-based packages, there are long pauses with lots of
disk-thrashing when font packages are installed, while fc-cache, mkfontscale,
and mkfontdir are run. Oftentimes installing those font packages takes longer
than building the actual port, especially with ccache running.

I suspect that those steps can be safely skipped in a package-building
environment.

This patch alters the fc, fcfontsdir, and fontsdir keywords to simply skip
those steps when PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined. It would be interesting to see
whether it breaks stuff in an exp-run.
