Frankly, I don't think that using an additional -I flag, or "freetype-config",
is going to really hurt Unix developers.  And what we've learnt through these
days is that "ideal != practical" in the general case

"ft2" seems to be "taken" by a Dos project already, and I generally highly
disregard acronyms and abominous short forms like this one anyway..

No, no, no, I don't want more application modifications and API changes,
too many important projects already rely on this. Maybe later for FreeType 3
(in one or two years ;-)
