Well, I switched to an earlier version of freetype, and recompiled. I
got another compiler error, but it was a simple typo. Someone had
written _pointer instead of _pointer_ in a memory reallocation macro.
I fixed that and was able to get Pango 1.4.0 compiled. But now I'm
stuck because GTK+ requires the X11 development libraries, which take
tens of megabytes. Installing them is so much work that I'm leaving it
off to tomorrow.
