[ft] Using Freetype2 with Visual C++ 6.0

[Tom Milford]

Hi,

I'm having trouble using Freetype 2 with Visual C++ 6.0.  Is this compiler 
still supported?

The problem is using #define's in include statements.  See below for an 
example.  I've confirmed that this is a problem on Visual C++ 6.0 with a 
small program, also below.

Best regards,
Tom
