Aiieee!

Ironically, I ended up trying to do something very like this shortly
after posting to this thread (trying to statically link the system
libfreetype) and I ran into different issues (mainly that after Qt was
built, qmake produced makefiles with simply "-lfreetype" in them, which
I guess shouldn't have been a surprise - just something I hadn't planned
for.)
