2004_05_15? Is this code actually from May, or has it been updated
since then?

It's using the <freetype/freetype.h> header from FreeType 1.x, when it
needs to use 2.x. Presumably the FreeType 1.x headers are in
/sw/include, which occurs before /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 on the
command line.

We should probably be putting $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) before $(COMPILE_FLAGS)
in the Makefile templates (src/CMD/generic/make.mid and mk/mid.mk); in
general, package-specific directories should be checked before generic
directories.

A quick workaround would be to change the ordering of the -I switches
in the make.rules file.
