Re: [ft-devel] Slightly modified header inclusion scheme

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Werner,

This is extremely problematic.  Please read my original report that caused the
first header file layout change:

  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fonts.freetype.devel/9052

If you are changing this again, can you please just under the simplification
that you did in that old thread?  Ie, make everything look like it used to
before 2013, except that ft2build.h will be inside freetype2/ as opposed to
outside it as it was pre-2013.

Thanks,
behdad
