unless it was fixed in the last ~24 hours, it doesn't build on -2-0
with a brand new /usr/pkg. I'll try again because I didn't log the
failure so I don't know if it was the same problem (though it seems
likely).

if firefox/mozilla has had patches added which are not backward
compatible with earlier versions of freetype2, they should be #ifdef'd
to support previous versions.

(I'm beginning to kinda dislike this "patch the various packages which
use xyz because we updated xyz and the API changed" trend which seems
to be emerging of late... it would be better if either backward
compatibility was retained or we just follow what the vendor does in
their repository to deal with this sort of stuff).

grant.
