[Qt-interest] freetype on Windows

[suzuki toshiya]

What I wrote is not the way that one can achieve it,
it is the way that one can know what should be prepared
for first.

The order of 1 & 2 is slightly questionable. If I use
Unix like building, the update of text.pri may cause
rebuilding of the related project, but I'm not sure in
other building process (on Win32). Are you familiar
with Qt building system for Win32?
