[ft] First pretest of FreeType 2.1.10

Folks, I've uploaded a first pretest version of 2.1.10! This is mainly to test whether the library compiles on various platforms, and to check whether the library itself works correctly. There are still some rough edges with documentation files... You can download it from

Re: [ft] FT_Open_Face with negative face_index

Re: [ft] First pretest of FreeType 2.1.10

So the good news is that with the 2.1.9-style sigma, FT 2.1.10pre is much better than FT 2.1.9 for FT_Glyph_Stroke(), and no worse than FT 2.1.9 for FT_Glyph_StrokeBorder(). David wrote me that his sigma change tried to fix a peculiar case -- he no longer has the original data, unfortunately.
