Catering for non-square pixels in the BDF backend is not currently
important for XFree86, as XFree86 currently only provides BDF fonts
for square pixels and we do not expect to develop any new BDF fonts.

Support for non-square pixels in FreeType in general is doubtless
important.  But that's not what I'm bullying Werner about.

(Werner, do you take bribes?)
