Updating freetype2 in base would require adding brotli and libpng to
base, mrg@ isn't keen on adding libpng but has written that he has done
most of the work to add brotli.

We could also modify the pkgsrc freetype2 package to only depend on
brotli and libpng if the version checks have decided that the base
version isn't enough. The would let people choose which to use.
