This commit changes many aspect of our cmake build system - shared libraries are compiled by default: * this modifies RPATH of unix executables; * this will prevent a lot of linking issues, esp. from pascal world; * the old behaviour (static libs) is still available with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=off; * of course in this case you have to provide the full list of dependencies with FPFLAGS and CMAKE_C_FLAGS; - pascal is now fully integrated with cmake, meaning you can just do add_sources and use CMAKE_Pascal_FLAGS: * some of the language features are only partially implemented, for example .inc files will not get rebuilt if you modify them; * target_link_libraries for pascal targets is just dummy as linking is determined within pascal files; * universal builds for osx are not available any more; - bundled libraries and system libraries are addressed using the target name: * this avoids depedency tracking; * this allows to name output as we wish.

Here is a list of items that need to be addressed in FreeType 2
---------------------------------------------------------------

* Implement stem3/counter hints properly in the Postscript hinter.

* Add CIDCMap support to the CID driver.

* Add track kerning support to the PFR driver.

* Add kerning (AFM file) support to the CID driver.


Here is a list of bugs which should be handled
----------------------------------------------

Other bugs have been registered at the savannah bugzilla of FreeType.

* CID driver:
    Handle the case where a CID font has a top-level font matrix also
    (see PLRM, 5.11.3, Type 0 CIDFonts).  Since CID_FaceInfoRec lacks
    a font_matrix entry we have to directly apply it to all subfont
    matrices.

* CID driver:
    Use top-level font matrix entry for setting the upem value, not the
    entries in the FDarray.  If absent, use 1000.
