configure error with freetype (again)

[Chris Hegarty]

If this is causing pain, and there isn't a simple workaround, then we 
could attempt to pull in 72ef61df77e5, and its ancestors directly into tl.

There are only a few ancestor changesets, which have changes in multiple 
repositories. Or sync in the whole build forest, there couldn't be much 
in there since b113.

-Chris.
