Configure(still?) broken on OS X

[Erik Joelsson]

I believe freetype is needed on Macosx so if that is missing in 
README-builds.html, that's a bug.

I'm not a regular Macosx user so I might remember this wrong, but you 
can get freetype from different sources. One is to install XQuartz. 
Another is to get it from homebrew. There was some issue with Macosx 
10.11 and the path to freetype in XQuartz but I think that should be 
fixed now.
