Must use the "ascii" version of our expat build with fontconfig
Sigh, spent one day, more or less, tracking down a weird fontconfig problem, where all the diagnostic it offered was "unknown encoding" when reading the fonts.conf file. It turned out that I was being screwed by our fun two versions of the expat_xmlparse library: One where XML_Char is char and one where it is short. The intuitively "more normally" named libexpat_xmlparse is the latter, but fontconfig works only with the former as it implicitly expects XML_Char to be char.
