Welcome to FreeType, Anuj!

I think your project can stay separate from the core FreeType al least
for some time. I would be a separate FT_Renderer module. So you can
use Visual C to develop it. It is highly desirable to use version
control to track your work progress, for example, with git. The only
change in FreeType might be FT_RENDER_MODE_DF, or maybe, some
interface to add that dynamically. The time line in project proposals
is there to track progress too. Everybody understands that it cannot
be followed to the minute.

Thanks,
Alexei
