Here's my patch, condensing your commits, adding some documentation,
and fixing some glitches. Please check!
We can remove <ft2build.h> as well, can't we? It is only used to
define the macros. So it is either ft2build.h and macros or neither.
Not until all the consumers of FreeType are adapted to use direct
header inclusion instead of the macros, which is likely to take years
from the point you announce the macros are deprecated and that it's
okay to use direct header names - especially those who were burned
in the past by not using the macros when the headers got moved or
renamed. In a few years you should be able to stop installing it
by default, and only install if an option is specified to request
it, much like is done for freetype-config today.
