Cpp-calculated include paths are not considered portable across all
compilers. This is even true for C++ compilers.
Take care with file extensions since Windows likes to associate
programs with extensions. There is no telling what it does with
extensions on directory names.

It seems unfortunate to require the build environment to pass a -D
option to allow the headers to work. Other package's headers "just
plain work". Why can this not be true for FreeType as well?
