Working with common/autoconf/configure

[Erik Joelsson]

Thanks for the feedback!

I have also run into those Xt and Xrender libs missing and having to 
figure them out myself. We should add checks for them in configure and 
correct the naming of the freetype lib (or maybe the name varies and 
both should be suggested). I've filed bug JDK-8003162 for this.
