The `canonical' way is to replace ftsystem.c with something more
appropriate for your target platform.  For example, you can copy the
whole file, only replacing `FT_New_Memory' to fit your needs.  I don't
see an immediate need to add new API functions -- you have to convince
me that the just outlined method doesn't work :-)
