I have here Freetype 2.1.9. I've grabbed Mozilla package from Marcuscom and 
Firefox package from ftp.freebsd.org and they run fine. Therefore I didn't 
bump revisions in patch.

I hope that what I wrote in PR about this makes sense (namely these patches 
were not integrated in development CVS of Mozilla - different approach has 
been taken as explained in bugzilla - unfortunately this doesn't help stable 
versions, mozilla-devel port on the other hand compiles fine with new 
Freetype without modifications).
