Modernize CMake build. * CMakeLists.txt, builds/cmake/FindHarfBuzz.cmake: Extensive modernization measures. * .gitignore: Add build/, as that's the example directory used in CMakeLists.txt. This brings up the minimum required CMake version to 2.8.12. The installation paths follow the GNU defaults now, e.g. installing on a 64 bit host will place binaries into the lib64/ folder on e.g. Fedora. Symbols are hidden by default (e.g. `-fvisibility=hidden' on GCC). CMake will no longer look for a C++ compiler. Library and .so version now match the Autotools build. Comments in the build file and informational messages now use platform agnostic example commands. ftoption.h and ftconfig.h are written directly without a redundant `-new' copy. External dependencies are expressed as option()s and will turn up as such in cmake-gui. Internal: Properties such as dependencies and include directories are now privately set on the freetype library instead of globally. The CPack definitions have been cleaned up, the `make dist' has been removed. Source packages generated with CPack don't contain Autotools files and aren't used by the maintainters anyway. On Windows, src/base/ftver.rc is compiled to decorate the library with version and copyright information. A pkg-config file is now generated and installed.
FreeType 2.9
============
Homepage: https://www.freetype.org
FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.
It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly
customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality
output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats.
Please read the docs/CHANGES file, it contains IMPORTANT
INFORMATION.
Read the files `docs/INSTALL*' for installation instructions; see
the file `docs/LICENSE.TXT' for the available licenses.

Please submit bug reports at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype
Alternatively, you might report bugs by e-mail to
`freetype-devel@nongnu.org'. Don't forget to send a detailed
