FreeType 2.3.1 in preparation (was Re: [ft] unhappy about recent "light" changes)

[David Turner]

Hello all,

OK, I just *de-activated* the light hinting "improvements". That's because
We need to release 2.3.1 now since it contains an important CFF bugfix.

The optimization will be re-enabled after that, and we'll have the time
to tune/compare/appreciate it if we want.

I've just updated version numbers and tagged the sources with VER-2-3-1.
Werner, could you check things then prepare a new release ?

Thanks,

- David
