Normally, the FreeType version is rather meaningless (provided that
the libtool version number is updated properly which we missed for
2.1.2). If you really want a test for 2.0.9, check freetype.h for
`FREETYPE_MAJOR', `FREETYPE_MINOR', and `FREETYPE_PATCH' with grep.
Writing a C program to read out these macros won't work with dynamic
libraries, and FT_Library_Version is buggy up to 2.1.3.
