I have added a new branch named `GSoC-2020-priyesh'  in the demo programs

repository which contains updates to support logging.

Thanks,

OK.

It works, great, AFAICS!  Two minor things.

* Under GNU/Linux the `dlg` library needs pthread.  Please fix
  building the demo tools in `make devel` mode by adding the attached
  patch to a branch.

  It would be great if you could also update FreeType's
  `builds/unix/configure.raw` file to check for working pthread
  support.

    [objs]    FT_Open_Face: Requesting number of faces and named instances
    [io]    FT_Stream_Open: opened `zapf.cff' (329 bytes) successfully
    [ttobjs]    TTF driver
    [ttobjs]      SFNT driver
    [sfobjs]      not a font using the SFNT container format
    [t1objs]    Type 1 driver

  However, I would like to have

    [objs]      FT_Open_Face: Requesting number of faces and named instances
    [io]        FT_Stream_Open: opened `zapf.cff' (329 bytes) successfully
    [ttobjs]    TTF driver
    [ttobjs]      SFNT driver
    [sfobjs]      not a font using the SFNT container format
    [t1objs]    Type 1 driver

  In other words, I want that all tags a constant width for better
  vertical alignment.
