Please go ahead!  Maybe it makes sense also to contact Fink gurus or
check other packages ported to Mac OS.  I can't really help.

I see no problems here.  Adding new (dummy) functions doesn't cause a
binary incompatibility if FreeType's DLL version number is increased.
Please update the documentation also so that users can clearly
identify the stubs.
