Excuse me, I was misunderstanding new modularized building system.

In module.cfg, gxvalid, otvalid, ftgxval are disabled,
but ftotval is enabled. I think ftgxval and ftotval
are thin wrappers to provide public interface of gxvalid
and otvalid modules.

The interface functions in ftgxval and ftotval return
errors safely, when libfreetype is built without gxvalid
and otvalid. So, I think, ftgxval/ftotval should be
enabled always, except of the cases that the memory
filled by these wrappers are not negligible (e.g. very
small systems). If ftgxval/ftotval are always built,
we can always build ftvalid, and ft2demos/Makefile
is not needed to be modified.

But, now I found that modules.cfg disables ftgxval.
ft2demos/Makefile should be capable for such cases?
