Compiling under DJGPP - it works, but no ftview

Hello,

I recently tried to compile freetype2 using DJGPP under a Windows DOS
box. I found that freetype detects my system as:

    platform = win32
    compiler = gcc
    rules = w32-gcc.mk

So I copied config/dos/dos-gcc.mk to ./config.mk in order to select the
correct makefile. Using this makefile, I can compile the library and the
demos without any problems. However, ftview does not work (it quits
because it can't initialise any display device).

I have written new makefiles for compiling under DJGPP and using a
library called Allegro, which is a game library often used on DJGPP for
graphics. I have also written a module for migs which runs using
Allegro. (On a side note, Allegro is cross-platform - it supports DJGPP,
Linux, X, Beos, several Windows compilers, and probably some more. The
Allegro module could therefore be used on more platforms than DJGPP, to
provide display capabilities if needed).

If you would like, I could post these new files and you could include
them in your project. I could also write the beginnings of a HOWTO for
writing your own migs driver.

Bye for now,
