A couple of issues with unix builds of freetype2 and ft2demos

Hi all,

I ran into a couple of issues with the freetype2 build and the
ft2demos build for unix.  This happens on Tru64 UNIX.

Not finding install-sh: I have to move builds/unix/install-sh to the
main freetype2 directory and chmod 775 on it before the install will
work.  I believe that DEC supplies a BSD compatible install, but one
has to set the path to it before configuring...

When building the ft2demos, I do not get a "shared" binary, in the
sense that the .so file is dynamically linked.  I am not sure (just
yet) why this is happening.  The binaries in bin do work, it is just
that they are not the type of binaries I was expecting, especially
since the binaries tucked away in bin/.lib are dynamically linked
binaries.

I have reported this to the libtool people, but it hasn't been fixed
yet: when running gmake for configuration, supply this

    NM="/usr/bin/nm -B"

to the arguments of gmake.  Otherwise, the libtool configuration fails
on the tests for parsing nm output.  Not sure if thisis needed for the
freetype2 build, but since I am anal about things like this, I thought
I would report it.

Tom
