#16341: Freetype variant request

As noted at
== http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2007-11/msg00000.html ==
There is a problem in Leopard (possibly on intel Macs) where calling
CoreFoundation with a fork() causes a crash. Unforuntately, if freetype
attempts to access native font suitcases, it will access a carbon library
that triggers the crash.
Would it be possible to request a freetype variant that would allow
disabling of the carbon library access. This can be done by adding
--with-quickdraw-toolbox=no --with-quickdraw-carbon=no
to the configure line. I don't know what other ports this might affect,
but none of them can be working on Leopard at this moment.
