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.
Ok thank you ... it just felt intuively that since the code was the same, regardless of how or where it was used, since the same objects (ceptually, not physically) exist in the system provided one that it could link against -lfreetype if provided by the system and just add whatever extra stuff goes into the backend. But thats not how modules work in XFree. I missed that bit.
I am not stressed by this, I was just surprised to see freetype stuff being built when sco5.cf defines HasFreetype2, so I went looking.
