Comment:

 It looks like they have come to their senses after all. The CHANGES file
 in the freetype 2.6.1 release says:

 {{{
   II. IMPORTANT CHANGES

     - The header  file layout  has been  changed (again),  moving  all
       header files except `ft2build.h' into a subdirectory tree.

       Doing so  reduces the  possibility of  header file  name clashes
       (e.g., FTGL's  `FTGlyph.h' with FreeType's `ftglyph.h')  on case
       insensitive file systems like Mac OS X or Windows.
 }}}
