I'm very sorry, but the only developer who has used ftjam actively,
David Turner, basically no longer works on FreeType.  In case you can
provide patches (to the FreeType repositories) I'm glad to apply them.
Even better, if you could actively maintain ftjam, I would start to
rejoice.

Obviously, the command line compiler is not called `cl'.  The name of
the Windows compiler (of VisualC++ 2010 Express) must be known to
Jam's built-in knowledge database.  It seems that this is not the
case, and Jam must be properly patched to support it.
