They are independent for two reasons.  The first is that the
system-provided FreeType library isn't (yet) used by the "freetype"
XFree86 server module.  The second is that lib/font/FreeType is an
X server font backend that contains more than just the FreeType
library.  It is a goal to resolve the first reason (making the
lib/font/FreeType build smaller), but the second will remain.
