I think he was originally suggesting to compile XFree86 with the latest
freetype libs instead of using the ones that come with the X source. Doing
this would "require" a dependency on the freetype libs, as he pointed out.
I wonder if the freeype libs which come with the X source would still be
compiled and installed during the process? I would hope not.
