Of course I can compile it myself but isn't it kind of the point of these
packages that people don't have to? Maybe the fribidi stuff isn't used
much because its that bit harder to use. Unless the fribidi stuff introduces
instabilities or makes everything much slower, I suggest to include in
the normal build.
