Ok.  Removed them.

Good point.  What about this:  create a module named harfbuzz
that is a complete project with autofoo that can be built and
installed as a library, with directories inside as otlayout/,
otdump/, test/, etc.  The otlayout/ dir is the part that can be
copied by Pango and Qt.

BTW, you don't use Makefile.am, right?

Feel free to move things around (from inside gabe.fd.o), or edit
text files, adding notes, or start up patching things around.
And if you want to get commit notifications, feel free to edit
