Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Honestly, I'd like to see some feedback on the perceived interest of it
 all before I start to spend more time making lots of diffs.

 I've explained why I included the infinality patches: I couldn't figure
 out in a reasonable time how to grab them from the server (i.e. from 2
 different branches of a github archive) when the variant is selected AND
 they'd have to be edited (unless there's a way to have them applied with
 -p1).

 Tabs were added by vim; apparently the modeline isn't explicit enough to
 avoid it from doing so (and I haven't touched these vi settings for too
 long to see what's missing or even remember how to set vim to using spaces
 :-/ ). Aesthetic, minor issue that will be corrected if ever these make it
 to a proposal-to-add.

 cairo-devel: what's that? The port info is identical as is the version.

 The actual font rendering improvements are in freetype+infinality.
 Fontconfig+infinality hooks into that to provide global and per-font
 rendering configuration options whereas the cairo patch just makes cairo
 respect those settings. Using either of the last 2 without
 freetype+infinality probably doesn't make any sense, but I don't think
 there are hard dependencies.
