    Bug 782676: require fontconfig 2.12.4 on Windows. · 70d2e6aa
    Jehan authored
    Fontconfig has a new slowness issue, this time apparently because of
    locked cache files, preventing a successful cache update.
    See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99360
    Furthermore the slowness apparently happens at every GIMP startup, and
    also even when GIMP closes according to various reports. So let's bump
    Fontconfig version (for Win32 builds only).
    
    Also let's not make it a recommendation anymore, but a requirement. That
    makes quite a few Win32-specific fontconfig bugs which have been fixed,
    and most are quite serious so this should not be considered as optional
    anymore, I guess.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 36625e08, and
    amended to adapt to gimp-2-8 configure)
