OK, I got only libfreetype.so.8 (and .6(!)) in the buildlink dir. So,
after all I took Thomas' advice, and added BUILDLINK_DEPENDS line to
librsvg2's Makefile.

This got me so far that I now also have libfreetype.so.9 in the buildlink
dir and libfreetype.so points to /usr/pkg/lib/libfreetype.so, which points
to .9.3. So I'm guessing I'm now picking the correct version.

However, this got me not a bit further. The build bombs in the same place.
So I went back to pango. I now see that libpangoft seems to always want to
use libfreetype 8, while other libpango* files depend on both 9 and 8 (9
first). I tried the BUILDLINK_DEPENDS trick with pango too, but it didn't
help.

Is my pkg installation somehow screwed, or what's wrong. I've been using
make replace lately a lot (since buildlink usually seems to require that
I have installed at least the version that pkgsrc has [for example, I have
glib 1.2.xxnb3, put when building an app that buildlinks with glib, I'm
required to install nb4]). But I'd guess that shouldn't be an issue here,
since libfreetype 8 came with X, not from a package.

4.2.x, so I have libfreetype 8 shipped by X, and libfreetype 9 as a package.
