Comment:

 * r55399: Message rewritten. It now reads:

 Warning: The +bytecode variant causes FreeType's TrueType driver to be
 compiled with a bytecode interpreter that produces better-looking output
 than the default auto-hinting method. However, the methods used by the
 bytecode interpreter are patented by Apple Inc. Only use this variant if
 you have purchased a license from Apple or live in a country where Apple's
 patents to this technology do not apply. For more information, please
