Nope; it turns out to have been a private email (from you):

Currently, d.text.freetype/main.c does:

	#include <freetype/freetype.h>

So, that's what configure should be checking for. If the source code
was changed to include ft2build.h (and use the macros for including
the other headers), then changing the configure checks would make
sense.
