Okay maybe that was a 'slight' exaggeration.

I've now built the release dll and placed in the Windows\system32 
directory following the advise given here 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6207176/compiling-freetype-to-dll-as-opposed-to-static-library

However 'import freetype2' still fails. I've searched the Cygwin folder 
to see if an older FreeType dll is masking the one in Windows\system32 
but I can't find any.

Please advise.
