Adriaan,

what's wrong when we will put files into /var, if they files have to go
there ?

Some *magic* could be possible directly in 'spec files' like %post or %pre
actions. But at this time we are creating spec from pspc and I have no clue
how can we do it (same functionality).

I don't know what's wrong  with FOSSfontconfig, small difference to previous
version is : install 'var' files into /var instead of /opt/foss/var. Where
is the problem ?
