[mapguide-internals] FreeType version

[Walt Welton-Lair]

I've had this down as a TODO for awhile - I'm glad you've volunteered to take care of this.  Sounds like a worthwhile thing to do.

	I'm using it now and it works fine. I have not noticed major improvements, at least with the fonts I have tried, but the release notes claim crashing and security bugs have been fixed and also performance optimizations for certain glyphs and also improvements to the autohinter (the thingie that does antialiased text without infringing on Apple's momentous patents).

	        Seems like a good idea to me :)  I'm assuming you've already tried it
	        and got it working?  Any visible improvements?
