As proposed on IRC. This will allow people to debug their fonts (for
instance when there are permission issues or whatnot) by knowing the
list of problematic fonts in an error dialog at startup (and not only on
terminal).
Move fonts, data factories, document list, paint methods and user
context creation to gimp_init() or gimp_constructed() so that most
members are created when gimp_new() is done. This does not load any
data earlier, it just makes sure that all containers exist when
gimp_load_config() is called. It's also cleaner and less fragile,
... to avoid long pause on start
On non-Linux operating systems the fontconfig cache is often not
initialized by default. The first time GIMP was launched, this led
to a non-responding application, confusing many users.
The initialization of fontconfig has now been moved to a separate
thread. The main thread will wait for this fontconfig thread to
complete, regularly pulsing the UI.
This patch was partly based on an earlier patch by Tor Lillqvist.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
Cleaned up some copyright headers and regenerated the parsers in
the ImageMap plugin.

Font configuration stuff: You can rescan for fonts on the fly now.
A couple caveats: the text tool font dialog doesn't get updated, but
that's supposed to be going away. The new font dock doesn't resort
on update, but mitch is supposed to fix that. :)
Some nice stuff for advanced font users: GIMP local font directories,
and an optional site and user fonts.conf.
I thought about supporting the auto-resan feature in fontconfig,
but it might take too much time to do a scan so I haven't implemented
it. Another thing I want to do is create fontconfig caches in the
local dirs.
* text/gimpfonts.[ch]: gimp_fonts_init/load/reset implementation.
* text/Makefile.am: added gimpfonts.[ch]
* app/core/gimp.c: use gimp_fonts_init/reset.
* app/config/gimpcoreconfig.[ch]
* app/config/gimprc-blurbs.h: added font-path config setting.
* app/gui/preferences-dialog.c: Add a Font Folders section for the
above. Also added a Rescan Font List button, which goes in the
Environment section. Not sure if this is the right place...
it also looks kinda ugly all by its lonesome.
* app/gui/user-install-dialog.c: mention the fonts directory.
* themes/Default/images/preferences/Makefile.am
* themes/Default/images/preferences/folders-fonts.png: dummy icon for
font folders pref, probably a folder with a little "T" in the corner
would be good.
