 >>>>>>please ignore above thread.

hi i'm building ghostscript trunk from cygwin/mingw32.
please see attachment for patches i applied.
latest i'm confirmed that this patch sigsegv at throw_patented when 
using pdfwrite device. after some investigation, i see that it was using 
ancient ttinterp.c in base directory..oh my god. this file is from 
1998..(Copyright 1996-1998) about 10 years
older than the same file in latest freetype2 library.
so what i'm going to ask you is, where do i need to fix to ghostscript 
to use freetype2 stuff ( it seems that this file is strongly binded so i 
dun know whether it could be replaced to new one not using ancient 
ttflib or type42 stuff.)
