Erm, yeah.  The git log that file stops in 2007 and they were present
then too, so the appearance of them isn't easy.

Fontconfig is good old autotools, so I expect we can remove the
--with-arch argument too.

And the method of appending to do_unpack is unconventional to say the least.

This recipe needs a good spring clean!
