Hehe - fame and fortune. However, the singular fact remains that the
Novell/Microsoft pact is clearly worthless to SuSE customers, as they do
*not* get their access to all the features of the freetype library
anyway, so clearly, Microsoft still have Novell's customers over a
barrel. One has to wonder what the deal was supposed to achieve?
