Building on Windoze (64 bit)

[Alex Kasko]

Hi Dave,

You'll need freetype libraries (both static and dynamic) for 8 on Windows.

You can use mine ones - 
https://bitbucket.org/alexkasko/share/downloads/freetype_2.5.3_win_x86_64.zip 
(and configure with --with-freetype=path/to/freetype_2.5.3_win_x86_64) 
or build freetype in VS using solution from vc2010 dir.
