[Devel] freetype 2.0.2 install error relating to freetype-config

i found an error in the new release of freetype 2.0.2 -

freetype2 installs headers in prefix/include/freetype2
 (specifically freetype/.....)
AND it installs ft2build.h into prefix/include

ft2build.h is included in prefix/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h

continuing....

freetype-config --cflags returns :
 prefix/include/freetype2

THUS,
 if prefix is not /usr or /usr/local then ft2build.h will not be able to be
detected.

currently i have copied ft2build.h into prefix/include/freetype2 rather than
adding an addition to the freetype-config script and I personally feel it would
be in the best interest of everyone to move this header into
prefix/include/freetype2

this is definately a big problem for those who can't install freetype2 as a
root user or just prefer non standard locations.

thank you for such a great library regardless of these small problems!
