Yeah, I'm thinking about this issue already since two weeks...

IMHO, it should be exposed.  The most straightforward way would to
break backwards compatibility, introducing a `flag' field in
`FT_Var_Axis'.  For obvious reasons, this is a bad idea.

The only working solution that comes to my mind is a function that
returns the flags of a variation axis.

  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_Get_Var_Axis_Flags( FT_MM_Var  master,
                         FT_UInt    axis_index,
                         FT_UInt*   flags );

Comments?

That's what I would do.
