FreeType has 20 modules currently. Luckily, they are designed without
explicit initialization. The world could have been much uglier indeed
with just one extra line for each module.

My hands are itching to make FT_Library_SetLcdFilter unnecessary in 2
weeks when *all* *patents* *expire* in the US.
