Well you could test with Thunderbird but you're right, things are going 
to get more messier.
I guess fontconfig could use %ETC% for it's configuration but still need 
the cache somewhere, %HOME%? The original fontconfig 2.3.2 kept a lot of 
its configuration in %HOME% before mzfntcfgft.
Gfx/os2fonts is gone due to too many upstream changes so Pango it is. I 
think Pango will also need to find its language files somewhere and it 
has dependencies on Cairo and Glib2 with Cairo having a dependency on 
Pixman, so yes the number of required DLLs is about to increase and it 
is getting hard to consider not using @UNIXROOT. Can always use 
@UNIXROOT without YUM/RPM and it'll probably work pointing at a 
subdirectory.
Only good thing is the basic binary should shrink making it easier for 
me to upload.
The Cairo build might be better as it uses the last patches from Rich 
and Pixman has had lots of optimizing added.
BTW, there is also an upgraded Freetype sitting in experimental along 
with an updated pthreads. I guess I should update Freetype in mzfntcfgft 
but it is hard to get motivated.
