Yes.

Hmm.  I think it isn't a good idea that UNIX behaves differently
compared to other platforms.  Additionally, the demo programs no
longer serve as `real' examples since the header file paths are
different.

What about using `ft2' instead of `freetype2', even in the FT library
itself?  So we would have

  #include <ft2/internal/...>

etc.

This fix can be done quickly, and it assures that future header
versions can get a directory of its own if necessary.
