[FriBidi] Is it possible to disable the shaping to presentation forms

[eduardo]

Hi Behdad,

I checked log2vis and it is more complex than I expected. I think it is 
enough to comment the calls to get_joining_types, join_arabic and shape. 
But as long as this function is in a file called "deprecated.c "I wonder 
if there is a better way to use fribidi without using the big log2vis 
function, something like a set of calls where I can control/ommit 
different steps of the process.

If I can get rid of the fribidi shaping, I think the algorithm to 
connect to harfbuzz is easier. I will post it in the hb list as soon as 
you confirm I got the fribidi part right.

Thanks!
