- The computation of bearings in the BDF driver has been fixed.
- The Postscript hinter did crash when trying to hint certain glyphs
(more precisely, when trying to apply hints to an empty glyph outline !)
- The TrueType glyph loader now supports composites in "Apple format"
(they differ slightly from Microsoft/OpenType ones in the way transform
offsets are computed...)
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- The automatic and postscript hinters have both been updated. This
results in a relatively important increase of rendering quality since
many nasty defaults have been supressed.

for additional details on this topic..
- Added support for the DESTDIR variable during "make install", to make
packager's life a bit less miserable :-)
- The DocMaker tool used to generate the on-line API reference has been
completely rewritten. If is now located in "src/tools/docmaker/docmaker.py"
It now provides:
- better cross-referenced output
- more polished output
- uses Python regular expressions (though it didn't speed the program)
- much more modular structure, which allows for different "backends"
in order to generate HTML, XML or whatever format...
one can re-generate the API reference by calling:
python src/tools/docmaker/docmaker.py --prefix=ft2 --title=FreeType-2.1.3

- The massive re-formatting of sources and internal re-design is still
under-way. Many internal functions, constants, and types have been
