[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Unexpected Mac X11 dependency

[Phil Race]

This is OK for your own build but no more than that. Users won't have 
X11 installed
and even if they did I am not sure it'll work.
So you need to be able to build with a freetype that can be relocated 
and bundled
as part of your distribution.  The one from the OS X X11 doesn't work 
for that.
At least it didn't when I last tried ..
