If you got that far, just install it manually... After all, there
isn't very much that needs to be done: Install the DLL, and if
necessary the import libraries, headers and utilities (fc-list,
fc-cache). Install the <top>\etc\fonts.conf file, make sure there is a
<dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir> entry in it so that fontconfig will scan the
Windows font directory.

(Yeah, maybe it might be a good idea to not scan the Windows fonts as
files, but instead iterate through them with the Win32 API, and look
at the font data with GetFontData(). (I assume FreeType2 can
relatively easily be fed already-in-core font files?) Would be faster,
but once fontconfig's cache has been built, this probably isn't an
issue.)
