My reading was that it could be bad for some C++, but not C. Again,
the symbol versioning does not improve performance, the attribute
does. I am attaching my slightly updated script. We need to discuss
the tag, FREETYPE or FT or FreeType if it is legal.

I will work on -fvisibility=hidden support through AC_TRY_COMPILE.
