Unfortunately, I've spoken too soon.  Committed fix does not work quite
right; e.g. language check bogusly gives me Bitmap Song font for any
"lang" value.  I'll investigate further, but my xterm and Gtk+2 apps look
very ugly now...

Meanwhile, I'm starting to really think whether we better just back this
warning shit out.  Just take a look at this (offending upstream commit),
their "rationale" is hilarious:

  "Warn if the multiple values is set to <test>, including the case of
   in <alias> because the behavior isn't intuitive since so many users
   is asking for a help to get things working for their expectation."

The reason why so many users are asking for help is that XML is utterly
inappropriate config file format for fontconfig, you fuckheads!  Once you
need to store something more than few key-value pairs, once you need to
add even simplest conditionals, XML will bite your ass away, and that is
precisely what we are now having with fontconfig.

(Upstream commit author CC'ed in case he has something to say, or correct
me on anything).
