Shouldn't it be the other way round?

I suggest to add a `--libtool' option to freetype-config to help
libtool find the library:

E.g.

  libtool --mode=link \
    gcc -o test test.o `freetype-config --libtool`

--libtool would yield e.g. `/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.la'.


IMHO shared library support should be supported only within the
framework of libtool.
