Summary: Xft problem on Solaris (was building back)

[Andreas Höschler]

Hello all,

I was finally able to build latest back on Solaris 9 after manually 
adding

        typedef unsigned int  FT_UInt;
        typedef struct FT_LibraryRec_  *FT_Library;
        typedef struct FT_FaceRec_*  FT_Face;

to /usr/local/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h. This is an ugly hack, but it 
works. May be this is of value to someone.

Best regards,

  Andreas
