Thanks a bunch; I''ve been working on that here today.  I''ll
take a look at
what you''ve got and mash it into what I''m doing.  When
I''ve got something
worth looking at, I''ll stick it into bugzilla.

I''ve submitted a patch to libtool which should make it into version 1.5
that permits explicit library version number control to solve this issue, 
and make it possible to use libtool with other existing libraries.

To give you a start on using automake with fontconfig, attached to
this message is a gzipped tar archive containing Makefile.am files and
other files that needed changing for fontconfig to be able to use
automake.

I have not sent patches because half the files are completely new.

The modified configure.in now also uses libtool.  Since I am not a
libtool expert, I couldn''t make it reproduce the
''libfontconfig.so.1.0'' numbering of the current version
without
abusing the libtool numbering scheme, so I made the library version
numbering more like that of GLib and Pango: i.e.,
''libfontconfig-1.0.so.0.1.0''.

The modifications were tested by running ''make dest'' on the
modified
source, building and installing the generated distribution, and then
compiling Pango using the installed library and header files.
