Not a package I particularly care about, but I noticed that Arch is
using a numbered development version - i.e. svn. Going to mplayer's
site and getting the latest svn snapshot, then looking at the log:
r38021 | al | 2018-03-20 00:56:39 +0000 (Tue, 20 Mar 2018) | 12 lines
configure: Use pkg-config if freetype-config is unavailable
Currently we only try to use freetype-config, but freetype-config
is deprecated by upstream. Starting soon freetype-config will
not be installed by typical freetype builds anymore.
Use pkg-config if freetype-config is not available. This
is identical to how we treat dvdnav-config and dvdread-config.
Fixes ticket #2340
So, after reminding myself how to look at what changed in a
particular revision:
ken@milliways /scratch/ken/mplayer-subversion/mplayer-checkout-2018-08-24 $svn
diff -c r38021 .

Obviously, I haven't tried building with that, but it seems simpler
than hacking freetype-config!
