Hello,

Just to advertise  a few changes to the FreeType 2 code:

- finished commenting the files "ftdriver.h", "ftsystem.h" as
  well as all "ftsystem.c" implementations

- modified the use of the FT_Realloc function. It now takes
  a new parameter : the current size of the target block.

  This is required in order to allow an easier porting to
  systems which do not provide a native "realloc', as
  suggested by Michal

- some silly optimisations in ftcalc.c. Also, TT_DivFix
  was introduced.

*** IMPORTANT ****
I plan to change ftcalc.c by moving all the 64-bit dependent
stuff within the TrueType driver. These functions are only
used to compute projections and vector distances with the
higher precision, and I hope to replace them with faster
32-bit versions (as long as they provide enough precision
to _not_ mangle the glyph hinting).

Is there anyone who doesn't agree on this ??


Cheers,

- David
