[HarfBuzz] Building from github on Mac OS X

[James Clark]

A few more notes.

- If you don't have glib installed, then HarfBuzz won't build hb-shape. I
wanted this so I had to install glib (make sure you get the latest version:
some earlier versions get compile errors):

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.39/glib-2.39.0.tar.xz

which requires libffi:

ftp://sourceware.org/pub/libffi/libffi-3.0.13.tar.gz

(Do this before installing pkg-config and you avoid the need for
configuring --with-internal-glib.)

- glib also needs gettext, so I installed that after building it (OS X also
provides its own BSD gettext library; not sure if this will cause conflicts)

- I noticed that the Xcode command-line tools install a libtool in
/usr/bin, so it's probably not necessary to install libtool.
