RFC: define FontLibSharedFreeType=NO
I've just added a memo under people/ishikawa/ about FreeType backend
build problem when defined FontLibSharedFreeType=YES.
I want to merge this change into branches/4.3.0/sid/debian/rules.
Any comments?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If BuildFreeType && UseFreetype2 && !DoLoadableServer, lib/font/FreeType
builds with external FreeType2 because in xc/config/X11.tmpl defined as
following:
----------------
/*
* There's no reason to use the statically built FreeType unless
* you're using a loadable server.
*/
#ifndef FontLibSharedFreeType
#if BuildFreeType && UseFreetype2 && !DoLoadableServer
#define FontLibSharedFreeType YES
#else
#define FontLibSharedFreeType NO
#endif
#endif
#if FontLibSharedFreeType
FONTFT2LIB = $(FREETYPE2LIB)
#endif
----------------
BuildFreeType and UseFreetype2 is always YES on Debian xfree86 package build.
DoLoadableServer is defined as NO when we build the static XFree86 server
(XFree86-dbg) for xserver-xfree86-dbg.
So, xserver-xfree86-dbg will be built with external shared FreeType2 library.
XFree86 4.3.0 tree contains FreeType 2.1.3 (with some modifications).
Currently sid includes FreeType2 2.1.4. Between FreeType 2.1.3 and 2.1.4,
`struct PS_FontInfoRec' interface is changed likes this:
----- 2.1.3
typedef struct PS_FontInfoRec
{
(snip)
FT_Short underline_position;
FT_UShort underline_thickness;
} PS_FontInfoRec, *PS_FontInfo;
-----
----- 2.1.4
typedef struct PS_FontInfoRec
{
(snip)
FT_Fixed* underline_position;
FT_Fixed* underline_thickness;
} PS_FontInfoRec, *PS_FontInfo;
-----
This change cause build error in xc/lib/font/freetype/ftfuncs.c likes this:

I think better to define FontLibSharedFreeType=NO, because XFree86-dbg
does exists to debug for normal XFree86 server. Difference between
FreeType2 included in normal XFree86 (source level inclusion in freetype.a
module). and FreeType2 linked against XFree86-dbg cause trouble to debug
libXfont FreeType backend area.
Of cause build problem with FreeType2 should resolve to next XFree86
upstream release. Because current XFree86 upstream CVS tree already
import FreeType 2.1.4 :-)
