It's amazing where you run into the same people over and over, isn't it? =)
There were no changes to the FreeType code. mmap is used all over the
Hurd (Internally for filesystems, etc.), so is well used.
I had chosen to make another directory because it was a very clean
patch. The Right Way to do it is certainly to make it look for
"/sbin/init" || "/hurd/init"
Thanks!
