Hi Nikolaus,

The project file generated by cmake has Intrinsic Functions set to "no" 
(so it'll also create the problem I reported).  Having said that, I need 
to be clearer about the problem...

freetype itself gets built as a static library - and as such, the fact 
that _BitScanReverse is missing doesn't show up (at that stage).  It's 
only later (when I try to use freetype in some other project) that the 
linker suddenly complains.

So the bottom line is that freetype's own projects (including the 
project you generate from cmake) all now need to set "yes" for the 
option to enable Intrinsic Functions.  Hope that makes sense,

John
