I have found two time the file ftmac.cp in the directory structure:

The one in builds/mac seems to be older than the one in src/base but
do I need the one in builds/mac anywhere?
src/base/ftmac.c is only for Mac OS X and does not
work with Classic MacOS anymore. If you build FreeType
via command line on Mac OS X, src/base/ftmac.c is used.
Ok, sounds like this is the newer more modern version?
builds/mac/ftmac.c supports both of Mac OS X and Classic
MacOS, but it includes countless ifdef conditionals
and difficult for recent Mac OS X users to maintain.
If you build FreeType by MPW, builds/mac/ftmac.c is used.
And this is the older legacy version?
In future, src/base/ftmac.c would be removed and
builds/mac/ftmac.c would be left, because Mac OS X enables
to implement important features of ftmac.c with only
POSIX, and without Carbon frameworks.
Then I don't understand this paragraph. Did you reverse the paths or
did you mean it that way? Because based on your first two paragraphs,
I would have thought src/base/ftmac.c is the version that will be
kept, having had the old pre-Mac OS X code removed, and builds/mac/
ftmac.c will eventually go away.
