Sorry. Yes, 2.6.3 is the version I'm now using but my suggestion was based on 
observations with an earlier version. I didn't realize this behavior had been 
improved.

Ah, OK, great. So the inclusion design now will always read the generated 
headers in the build tree so freetype doesn't modify the source headers and 
builds don't need to either. I take it that these modified build headers are 
never needed by code that uses freetype.

My tests with 2.6.3 seem to confirm that it doesn't modify the source tree 
anymore.
