Uhm... this is usually the way how moz.org does the job - the patch is stored in
bugzilla for review/approval and checked-in as-is. Nothing in the main branches
goes "in" without being stored in bugzilla first.

That's bug 307 ("Changes to freetype module break optimization heuristics on CJK

damage done by Keith Packard in the Freetype font code.

Uhm... are there any bugzilla bugs which describe the "kludges" ?
