They aren't supposed to be there, but 'share' is missing from SUBDIRS
in the top-level Makefile so they aren't being build from the .in 
files. To fix this, ither modify the top-level Makefile accordingly or
make -C share.

That does not mean it, but indeed Xft support will be removed from the
standard drawing engine to keep it as simple and small as possible. (See
my previous post on the proposed API.) What is meant by the above comment
is that I have better things to do than  test compiling and using Ion
with the feature enabled (it would be disabled by default even if Ion
used autoconf) before every release, so it is not guaranteed to work.
