I meant that whether you set --disable-glitz or not, back-cairo won't 
work (or to be more exact: I can't really say) because...

... with back-cairo compilation will always fail due to an error 
message similar to
  "you need to specify #include "FILENAME" or #include <FILENAME>"
when trying to include any freetype related headers.

I'll send a more detailed error message when I next update -back. 
Right now I'm not going to update because the latest changes to base 
in SVN will break GNUMail. I almost lost two years worth of mail to 
that, which I cannot afford.
