I realize I probably am not understanding you.

As I see it there are two real ways freetype can be configured:
  1) On a mac, the old ftmac code is enabled.
  2) Everywhere else, my new code is enabled and will read dfonts and 
macbinaried resource files.
There is a third case which is unlikely to happen and this is what 
Werner was asking about:
  3) On Mac OS/X, if someone didn't want to use the ftmac code, it is 
possible to enable my new code and if so a small section of code 
becomes active for that situation alone. That small bit of code will 
open the resource fork of a file using posix calls rather than Mac OS 
calls. Since resource forks aren't available on other platforms there 
would be no point in enabling this code anywhere else.

Now... What code did you want available on what platform?
