Re: [Devel] #include hacks in freetype headers

[Tom Kacvinsky]

That sounds OK, but a question is this:

What to place in #else clause of the following:

#ifdef FT_BUILD_H
#include FT_BUILD_H
#else
...
#endif

That is, what should ... be replaced by?  It is not clear that it should always
be <freetype/config/ftbuild.h>.  Etc, etc...
