[ft] Idea for way of enabling subpixel hinting

[Rafal Milecki]

Hello,

As far as I know subpixel hinting is disabled if I compile freetype2
using default configuration. It's because of patents. Because of this
same reason the most of distros provide freetype with subpixel hinting
disabled.

As the result if someone is using freetype provided with his/her
distro and want to enable subpixel hinting it is necessary to
recompile freetype. It makes all the operation quite comlicated and
avaliable for advanced Linux-users only.

I think I would be nice if every freetype user could enable subpixel
hinting just editing some text file. So we would kept subpixel hinting
disabled by default but it would be much easier to enable it. No more
compiling, installing. Just editing one line in one file.

Is my idea possible to realize?
