Re: [ft-devel] FreeType patches to support amalgamation

[Collyer, Oliver, SI]

Unless I've misunderstood, It seems to me that the changes being made are not 
to amalgamate FreeType into a couple of files, but just to rename some 
stuff/change some #defines to make this possible for another tool to optionally 
do.

If so, I really can't see what the problem is and why you're being offensive on 
the mailing list - it just makes FreeType usable in a different way for those 
who would like it, doesn't it?

As for your earlier comment:

"You will make people who borrow from FreeType miserable and make
them curse at you for renaming stuff for no good reason whatsoever."

I can't speak for anyone else, but FreeType has been a fantastic and 
much-appreciated library over the years for us and we have total respect for 
the people who have put so much time into creating it, so if a bunch of stuff 
gets renamed that makes it easier to use for others to benefit from then it's 
fine with us.
