And what do you expect from me? To recompile half of the distribution
now? It took you 4 months to check 80 packages for mysql rebuild

poldek> rsearch -r /freetype\.so/
(...)
1207 package(s) found.

So don't be so smart now. We got the freetype for a long time and
appearently his weaknesses aren't that big to disturb rest of the users.
