[osg-users] freetype build support on Windows

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the modified file.  I've just reviewed this, as is it would
break the build for others as you remove paths from the search list
rather than just add a new one.  The addition of the debug library is
desirable but would raise the issue of mixing debug and release libs,
something that the present ones do in the opposite direction so the
original script isn't ideal on this either.

I can easily insert your additions into the OSG's FindFreetype.cmake,
however, I do wonder if it's not best now to just adopt CMake's own
FindFreetype.cmake.  CMake has come along way since the early days
when we adopted and it's own list of Find scripts was lacking.

I will have a bash with removing the OSG's FindFreetype.cmake so the
it utilizes CMake own version, if this works well I'll check it in to
git master.

In the attached FindFreetype.cmake I just hacked it to work with the new layout but that obviously won't work for the old layout. Does some CMake guru know the right way to do this? Would it work to just drop the OSG custom FindFreetype.cmake and use the CMake one (which seems to have both include/freetype2 and include supported in the latest CMake)?
