Original way to build freetype on windows is described here:
   http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2007-August/000187.html

However, since then several people reported they simply used VC project 
file in the freetype source tree.
To get project file to work with VC 2003 it has to be updated to refer 
to VC 2003 instead of VC 2008
- this is just 1 byte change with any text editor.
