I compiled DStep master/HEAD (v0.2.3-16-g1308991) against LLVM 6.0 and
it seems to have done a rather splendid job of creating a D binding to
Fontconfig. Low-level obviously, but Fontconfig is seriously low level
anyway.

Now to work out how to make the project auto generate this D module so
as to avoid having it in the repository, and potentially inconsistent
with the platform in use.
