Fixed.


> 2. SHAPERS: In void hb_shape(...) in hb-shape.cc, I see this:

The current Graphite shaper is disabled because it was crashing on me all the
time.  Deep in the libgraphite code...  That's a major concern.  Most probably
I never enable graphite or any other non-included backend by default and make
users --enable them if they wish.

As for the API, hb_shape() probably remains the way it is.  We can add API
later to allow querying supported backends and ordering them.
