Ok, here is an iterator.
   FT_GetIterate_BDF_Property(FT_Face,BDF_PropertyIteratorRec *aprop)
To get the first property set,
   aprop->index = 0
(each call will automagically increment)

aprop->cnt      will be set to the number of properties in the face
aprop->name     the name string
aprop->property standard BDF_PropertyRec with the value.

I include two patches, iterate_bdf.patch.bz2 handles bdf & pcf fonts
                       sfnt.patch.bz2 is based on David's sfnt bdf code
                           (and handles sfnts).
