this isn't pretty.. .the package appears to build with the freetype
2.1.x headers from /usr/lib.. and then at the final link stage it uses
the /usr/X11...  version of freetype, and thats where it breaks.  I've
had a few bugs like this but I've never been able to solve this.  all
discussion is welcome and I know this isn't what you'd want to hear from
the devs  : (
