Yes, fontconfig-config has been removed from the recent versions of
fontconfig. This will be fixed in a few days in the current cvs.

Maybe, I do not know. You can ask to fontconfig_at_fontconfig.org why
fontconfig-config has been removed. Maybe to break the build of
certain software or because "pkg-config --libs fontconfig" looks
better than "fontconfig-config --libs" ... I do not know.
