True, a quick diff didn't highlight that.  My 7.10 desktop is
powered off at the moment, and those symlinks actually point to
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail in my case - I looked at my
first-stage backups, in /staging on my server, but of course the
links are broken when I do that.

A (very) quick look yesterday suggested the symlinks on my 7.9 and
7.10 were the same, but I won't swear that they are (more than a
screenful using ls -l).

But - assuming all the 10-hinting* symlinks are present, the
contents of those files DID change between BLFS-7.9 and 7.10.
