How to properly find freetype with FindFreetype.cmake?

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Mojca - Usually with CMake, if you add -DFREETYPE_LIBRARY=FOO cmake
will accept your setting for FREETYPE_LIBRARY directly -- without doing
searches or other checks.  It also looks from FindFreetype.cmake like
you can set FREETYPE_DIR in the environment as the primary hint to CMake
where to look.  After issuing the cmake command, look at the resulting
CMakeCache.txt file for the specific names to be setting via -D...=... .
 Hope this helps! - MLD
