As I see it, fontconfig and freetype are really required for Cairo on Linux
enviroments (as they are considered 'native' for Linux). However, for Windows
environments there's a Cairo font backend available which uses the native font
rendering functions from the Win32 API. To me it looks like adding dependencies
on freetype and fontconfig only introduces unncessary bloat for a Win32 build
of Cairo.

Are there any specific reasons why you want to add dependencies on fontconfig
and freetype? Applications (like GTK+) shouldn't really care about the font
backend used by Cairo.
