-The configuration files (fonts.conf, fonts.dtd) go in a new directory
-/etc/fonts, the install step doesn't current create this directory or copy
-the config files.
+Fontconfig is built with the traditional configure script:
+
+       $ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
+
+This should generate valid Makefiles, then:
+
+       $ make
+       $ make install
+
+If you're going to package fontconfig for release, there are several
+important steps:
+
+ 1.    Update the version numbers
+               configure.in
+               fontconfig/fontconfig.h
+ 2.    Fix the README
+               Change version number
+               Set the date
+ 3.    Commit those changes
+ 4.    rebuild the configuration files with autogen.sh
+               sh autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --localstatedir=/var
+ 5.    make distcheck (NB: won't work without docbook-utils -PL)
+ 6.    tag the tree
+               cvs tag fc-2_2_xx
+ 7.    Split out the ChangeLog into ChangeLog-2.2.xx with
+       the changes since the previous release
+ 8.    Copy ChangeLog-2.2.xx and fontconfig-2.2.xx.tar.gz to
+       freedesktop.org:/srv/fontconfig.freedesktop.org/www/release
+ 9.    Update the Fontconfig Devel wiki page
+       http://fontconfig.org/wiki/Devel
+10.    Compute md5sums for release files:
+               md5sum fontconfig-2.2.xx.tar.gz ChangeLog-2.2.xx
+11.    Post a note to fontconfig@fontconfig.org.  Include the md5sums.
+       gpg sign the message.
