So: the fontconfig libraries are installed in /usr/X11/lib, but the
configure script for Emacs uses the execrable pkg-config to try to find
them. Since I rashly installed ImageMagick, which uses pkg-config,
there's a binary of it in /local/bin, which doesn't know about the
fontconfig libraries installed by XQuartz.
To be fair, /usr/X11/share/pkgconfig/ also doesn't mention fontconfig, so
even if I adjusted PKG_CONFIG_PATH, I don't see how this could work.
I'm sure it all works dandy on a GNU-Linux Gnome system :-).
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11/share/pkgconfig:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig
