Building on Windoze (64 bit)

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Dave,

if you're building jdk9 you can now us the newly introduced
--with-freetype-src option which was introduced with
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8057538. This will build the
required freetype library during the configure step. All you need is to
download and unzip the fretype sources.

Regards,
Volker
