4. Technical Description

I am sponsoring this case for myself and marking it Closed Approved Automatic,
following the precedent of many of the other recent cases moving out of
/usr/sfw.   This case requests Patch binding, though it has no plans at this
time to integrate into a Patch release.

This case moves the FreeType library and associated files delivered by
the X Consolidation in the SUNWfreetype package from /usr/sfw to /usr.
This library was introduced by LSARC 2002/291, and has since been
updated by LSARC 2003/400, 2004/658 & 2005/397.  The API's provided by
the library remain classified External (now Volatile).

Symbolic links from the old location will be left for backwards compatibility.
