Ah, that explains it. --ftversion was added in the same release as the
FT_Sfnt_Table_Info call was added. That was version 2.1.10 by the way,
released in June 2005. You seem to have an earlier version.
So, we should either check for version 2.1.10 or higher in Makefile.am
or, probably better, I can work around this call, so it should work
with earlier versions of FreeType 2 as well. Find attached below a
patch that removes the dependency on the FT_Sfnt_Table_Info call.
