easy contribution opportunity: FreeType port to BeOS

[Andrew Bachmann]

Hi all,

We need a FreeType port for BeOS, of at least version 2.3.0.  In particular,
we need the headers and the libraries.  The openjdk build checks for the
presence of the freetype library by trying to build a small program that
uses the ftbuild.h header and also the library.  This happens before the
build gets going.  Although we could comment out the check, I think we
should just address this need.

This would be a nice opportunity for someone to make a contribution to help
the Haiku port.  I'm supposing this should be pretty easy, but I haven't
tried.  If you are intending to do this, please post to the list so others
don't duplicate your contribution.  It's up to whoever builds it but I would
recommend that the port be posted to BeBits for posterity.

Andrew
