[Cairo] Freetype seems to mandate different headers on debian/sid (powerpc)

The following patch was necessary to compile cairo on my debian/sid machine:

diff -u -r1.29 cairo.h
--- src/cairo.h 7 Nov 2003 02:33:28 -0000       1.29
+++ src/cairo.h 18 Nov 2003 10:05:26 -0000

  #include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

+#include <ft2build.h>
+#include FT_FREETYPE_H

  extern cairo_font_t * __external_linkage
  cairo_ft_font_create (FT_Library ft_library, FcPattern *pattern);

don't ask me why, but it looks like the ft maintainers have spent some 
effort to tell ft users about it:

In file included from cairo.h:428,
                  from cairoint.h:46,
                  from cairo.c:28:
