Can't we assume fontconfig to be present wherever XeTeX is? But we may want to
be more portable that XeTeX indeed.

Just out of curiosity, which kind of "smart" things is fc trying to do?

I can do some testing on windows since I have a few virtual machines running XP
for testing purpose. But don't expect any smart idea form me concerning windows,
I know almost nothing about this system.
