I installed it in a slightly different way which is a bit simpler.

I installed Freetype2 into /usr, and didn't have to remove anything, or do any 
special copying of Xft.h

    ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install

    (My xmkmf doesn't allow the -a option.)

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h on my system was identical to 
fcpackage.2_x/fontconfig/Xft/Xft.h without any need for copying.
