Fix for the problems described

apart from this delete ftconfig.h in lib/font/FreeType/, move ftstddefs.h to
myftstddefs.h in lib/font/FreeType/module and restore extras/freetype2 to
2.1.8.

I actually ment to say ftstdlib.h instead of ftstddefs.h.

It seems the checked-in change broke the build on SuSE 8.2 Linux/x86:

... reopening bug...

Egbert - can you take a look at that problem, please ?

The fix should be 
makedepend foobar || true;
so that make doesn't choke. makedepend is broken.
Working around broken makedepend in the code is broken, too.
My hope is to get rid of these problems with automake as I'm ususally the damn
idiot who gets to support crap like makedepend which crashes with a floating
point exception.
I'm tired of having to do the chores.

Er... what about adding a small workaround in "makedepend" itself ?

"automake" is no solution... this will only introduce more problems than it
solves. You fix this issue and get 20 other ones... ;-(((

OKOK... I make a patch... one sec, please... :)

Proposed workaround for "makedepend" crash

The patch works around the problem via avoiding a division-by-zero exception.
Not nice but "makedepend" stops crashing (the real solution would be to fix the
parser but I'll try to avoid that for now... =:-)

Egbert:
Is the patch OK for you ?

That's the hardcore fix.
I found out the real origin:
gcc has some intrinsic define __CHAR_BIT__ makedepend doesn't know about.
When GNUC is defined (this seems to be defined implicitely in makedepend)
limit.h includes the gcc specific limit.h and defines CHAR_BIT to __CHAR_BIT__.

The fix for this is to add 
#if defined (__CHAR_BIT__)
        {"__CHAR_BIT__", DEF_STRINGIFY(__CHAR_BIT__)},
#endif
to config/imake/imakemdep.h

So who whould have thought of that?

I'm going to commit the patch soon.
