Freetype libs in /usr/include/libs

If I am not mistaken, /usr/local/lib is the *standard* location to find
the freetype libraries, if it is built stand-alone, as opposed to being
built as part of XFree86.  Of course, I would have thought that
/usr/local/lib should be a part of the standard library search path.

Note that we should probably first try pkg-config, then freetype-config,
then fall back on standard locations when looking for the freetype
libraries.
