Yosemite problems with FreeType

[Dan Smith]

Well, I take that back.  Tried installing 2.7.5 just in case, and now it works fine.

Summary:
- Yosemite installer breaks XQuartz configuration (probably something trivial like removing a symbolic link)
- OpenJDK build is not compatible with XQuartz 2.7.7 (probably something trivial like a file name change)

Workaround is to run the XQuartz 2.7.5 installer after installing Yosemite.
