Well, somewhere in the process below, I need to figure out how to make the changes that I want, and how to have them included in the final debian file.
I think I need to do something in the include/freetype/config/ dir of the freetype source...
wanbalans:/usr/local/src/freetype# tar -zxvf freetype_2.1.7.orig.tar.gz freetype-2.1.7/ freetype-2.1.7/freetype-2.1.7.tar.bz2 freetype-2.1.7/ft2demos-2.1.7.tar.bz2 freetype-2.1.7/ftdocs-2.1.7.tar.bz2
then
wanbalans:/usr/local/src/freetype# cd freetype-2.1.7/ wanbalans:/usr/local/src/freetype/freetype-2.1.7# tar -jxvf freetype-2.1.7.tar.bz2 freetype-2.1.7/ freetype-2.1.7/builds/ freetype-2.1.7/builds/amiga/ freetype-2.1.7/builds/amiga/makefile freetype-2.1.7/builds/amiga/README . . .
