Did you read somewhere that they're getting rid of freetype.h?

I've looked at 2.0.1 and 2.0.2:

  * In 2.0.1, the header macros are defined in
    freetype/config/ftbuild.h, which is included in freetype/freetype.h.

  * In 2.0.2, the header macros are defined in ft2build.h, which is
    included in freetype/freetype.h.

So as long as they keep freetype/freetype.h around, we can include that
and get the macro definitions.

We still have to test which macros are defined and only include the ones
that exist, but it does save the work of adding extra autoconf checks.
I sent a test patch to wine-devel earlier today which does this, and I'm
waiting to hear how it works.

I'd prefer to stick with this scheme *until* it breaks; anyone looked at
2.0.3?
