What we want to avoid is that programs need different include
prefixes depending on the platform. I mean, do you really want
to code like this to make portable code ?:

#if UNIX
#include <freetype2/freetype.h>
#else
#include <freetype/freetype.h>
#endif

Not a good thing in my book, really !!

So keeping the same prefix on all platforms is important
for application portability..
