It could be the same simple process with OS/2 systems. It only needs all 
required dll files shipped (or linked statically) with the package and 
some minor adjustments for fontconfig (looking for config file in 
working directory, using another "fonts" directory for fonts and caching 
per default). If somebody wants to use different settings it could be 
done by environment variables - do not ask!
