...that makes since:  hans and I've been chatting and think we should  
import the latest working versions of freetype (2.1.10) and FTGL into  
GemLibs...or at least FTGL, since that's not available via cvs  
anywhere else...

of *.dylib...

...I just went to the freetype site, and noticed that there's now a  
2.2.1 in addition to the 2.1.10 series:  anyone try it out with gem/ 
ftgl yet?

...maybe we should meet up on irc?
