Yes, more or less.  I've modeled the validation code after the cmap
validation code which also doesn't allow configuration.  IIRC, David's
idea was that a normal build of the FreeType library should use the
default value since it isn't its job to do a thorough font checking --
rather the opposite, namely to allow as much glitches in the font as
possible.  People who want to reuse FreeType's validation code will
change this.

Do you need it configurable?  Why?
