[Mono-winforms-list] Attempting to run MWF on Mac

[kangaroo]

Well _technically_ its not misinformation; because you can get 
fontconfig from fink/dp if one so chooses; it just happens to be easy 
and convenient to get it from Apple's X11.

Its also worth noting this is an interim solution, and actually someone 
looking to contribute to MWF on Mac, this would be a great place.

What needs to be done is:

Refactor libgdiplus to not require fontconfig and allow the cairo_atsui 
backend to be plugged into place.

Any takers?
