Version increment to 2.4.3
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/
Note that the patent for the bytecode interpreter that
includes glyph hinting expired in May 2010, so the sed
to enable it is not required.
The sed for LCD optimization is still required if you wish
to use it. Note that there are Microsoft patents covering
the LCD optimization routines.
2.4.4 includes the vulnerability fixes.

Comment(by k...@…):
Randy, sorry to spring this on you, but I need an updated freetype in the
book (either patched 2.4.3, or 2.4.4) so that I can put ghostscript-9.00
in. Unless you have objections, I'll take this ticket.
