Hmmm... I was in process of hacking a nice API for filters embedding other 
filters and so on. This also needs a change in KoStore to support relative 
URLs. The KoStore change is done, and I could commit it, but yesterday 
Shaheed shocked me with a MS design stupidity. To make a long story short: 
The embeddee and the embedder have to "talk" in both directions, which is 
really ugly. I'm still thinking about a sane way to solve that :}

Maybe this hack will only be introduced in the olefilter, as I think no other 
filter will need that special way of communication, but I'm not sure yet.

From a build-system POV there are some unresolved issues. I have no idea if it 
even compiles on Solaris, and I'm pretty sure it's impossible that it links 
there. According to "rumors" Solaris doesn't have Xft. The Karbon guys would 
probably have to implement the font stuff themselves and #if/#else this code.

I'd really like to have input on build breakages in karbon, as I tested it 
only on my machine. If you want to report such an error, please include a 
short description of your system, your freetype2 version (use freetype-config 
--version to find that out) and the XFree86 version.

Karbon developers: I still didn't get an answer to my question what to do when 
the requirements for building the font code aren't satisfied. Disable karbon 
completely or leave it to you to #ifdef out this code? Note that you would 
have to check whether it works w/o that code from time to time :-)

Ciao,
Werner
