Further to the above: I tried, but the current back-art release
doesn't compile with the current freetype. Reported as bug
12009. Looks like it might be fixed in CVS, but I guess it can't
be enough to affect release dates. After all, freetype 2.1.8 had
been out for about 5 months already when back 0.9.4 was released.

So, I wonder how many non-CVS users use back-art? Is it
premature to talk about switching defaults?
