Great, thanks!

The latter, please. Please remember that a FreeType tarball
essentially captures the state after running `autogen.sh`. This means
that a normal `make` call should build everything (after people have
fiddled with the macros in `ftconfig.h`).

You might have a look at the `dist` target in file
`builds/toplevel.mk`; it probably needs some adjustments to skip
inclusion of the `submodules` directory. However, this isn't
something urgent.
