Cpp-calculated include paths are not considered portable across all
compilers. This is even true for C++ compilers.
Take care with file extensions since Windows likes to associate

It seems unfortunate to require the build environment to pass a -D
option to allow the headers to work. Other package's headers "just
plain work". Why can this not be true for FreeType as well?
