Correction: freetype is just fine.  The patch for fontforge just
removes the libxml2 stuff, which I don't understand since it depends
on libxml2 anyway.  Disregarding that, though, I run into the dreaded
   libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
   libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

This goes away if I manually add --tag=CC, but I'm really suspicious
of that solution... if libtool can't figure out that something is a .c
file by itself, it sounds like something is seriously wrong.

Jan, could you take a look at updating fontforge?
