Yes.  Basically what I want is that the output of the following command:

$ PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS=1 pkg-config --cflags freetype2

should NOT have "/usr/include" in it.  Currently I get:

-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include

Any way you can fix that while client source code not needing any change is 
fine.

Thanks!
