imlib2 needs ft1 because it hasn't had its internals updated to use ft2. at the
time the imlib2 text code was written ft2 wasn't out. i don't currently have
that on my list of priorities - but it is in imlib2's TODO list and anyone is
more than welcome to go do it. evas has a nice abstract and good set of ft2
wrapping routines. so it can be moved into imlib2. i people want to help there's
stuff to be done there.
