Yes, that include is indeed missing for cairo.
Since I'm using CVS, I ran

  # CC=gcc42 ./configure --enable-graphics=cairo --with-name=cairo
--enable-glitz

and manually added -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 in config.make
That will fix this problem.

However, after installing the cairo bundle, changing the backend in my
defaults and launching any application, eg EasyDiff, I will get

  :0> openapp EasyDiff.app
  Error (objc-load):
/Library/Bundles/libgnustep-cairo-010.bundle/./libgnustep-cairo-010:

Ummm-kay, so I reconfigure and disable glitz, put the include for
freetype2 back into config.make. Again, it compiles fine, so I install
it again and try EasyDiff:

  :1> openapp EasyDiff.app
  /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:
  /Library/Bundles/libgnustep-cairo-010.bundle/./libgnustep-cairo-010:
  Undefined symbol "_cairo_toy_font_face_create"

Oh well... Looks like this function is defined as static, as I can't
find it in any of cairo's header files.
