New description:
The now-current freetype library has problems with newer fonts. This
forbids its uses in some applications on machines having system fonts not
supported by this version.
This was diagnosed on sage's R (see
[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-support/FnTEcpfg6wE this
thread]) by Volker Braun.
A stopgap measure is to upgrade freetype to a more forgiving version of
freetype, hence this ticket.
The current freetype tarball hits a snag in libpng, because it uses setjmp
for exception handling, which triggers a compiler error due to this
settinng up been made twice. So a small patch to the current libpng is
part of this branch.

Comment:
Okay, I am satisfied that my push '''*was*''' successful, and that the
ansence of the new upstream tarball was intended. So I'm putting it up for
review again.
