With a separate program, FreeType is only required for people who want to print TrueType fonts. If I put FreeType calls directly into the driver, FreeType will be required to build/run Wine at all, even for users that derive no benefit from it.

You can have an autoconf check and #ifdef the code out if possible. We will have to use FreeType at some point anyway, so we might as well start now. Besides it seems it will be easier to use if everything is built-in instead of having to run a separate tool.
