I use -D to disable hb. See my script. The meson output says that hb
is disabled. but ftoption.h still mentions that hb is used. And

I think that there is a problem with meson.build :

no test is done line 270, especially :

ftoption_command += ['--enable=FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ']

is set unconditionally
