Greetings,

Not sure how to address the following to the maintainer of FindFreetype, so 
sending it to this list...

FindFreetype unconditionally sets FREETYPE_LIBRARIES to whatever 
FREETYPE_LIBRARY is, even when it is not found.  Many other FindXXX modules 
wrap the creation of their XXX_LIBRARIES variable in an IF(XXX_FOUND) block.  
This reduces the complexity of specifying which libraries to link a target 
against when that list contains optional libraries.  Attached is a patch that 
modifies FindFreetype to follow this convention as well.  Please consider 
making this change.
