Subject: [Cjk] separate ttf2pk package?

While building RPM packages for cjk and friends, I find it useful to
take programs like ttf2pk out of the freetype contribs directory.

ttf2pk is evidently independent of the release cycles (stable vs
unstable) of FreeType.  Also, the FreeType top level configure/make
system does not take care of ttf2pk and FreeType RPM packages usually
ignore ttf2pk.  Rightly so, because ttf2pk is not needed by most of
the programs that need FreeType.  Within SuSE Linux, only the te_cjk
package I am building needs it.

I can take ttf2pk and friends out of the freetype current release
myself, but it would be better if this was officially done by the
authors and if ttf2pk was given a separate version number.  Otherwise
the RPM package headers become somewhat ugly.
