Because that's the way it is documented that FcConfigBuildFonts can
fail.  I figure it's better to suggest the documented reason, instead
of doing

(define-error 'yo-keith
  "Something went wrong in Xft.  Don't ask me, but maybe Keith P knows."
  'wtf-error)

and using that.

My bet is that, this being X, all undocumented errors will crash all
the way back to the BIOS.  WDYT?  :-)
