OK, I'll fix up Pango to use this system, since it seems to have 
been in place for FreeType-2.0.9, the earliest version I currently
support.

There is a certain argument that even if a system is a) defensibly
correct and b) documented, if it is different from what people are used
to, and what people are used to does work, then they aren't going
to realize they need to use your system. If you are requiring people
to include ft2build.h and then use these macros, you need to make
including freetype/freetype.h without including ftbuild.h first an
error.
