I was away for a while and missed the whole prefix 'breakage' thing, if
one could call it that. Oh well!

I think that these fonts do belong in X11R6 for 99% of user configs out
there, and the xfstt dependency was included since many people that used
XFree86 3.3.6 as shipped with FreeBSD didn't figure this out by themselves
apparently, judging by the feedback I got...

I think however that we can have our cake and eat it too, I'll just add
a WITHOUT_X11 that will build the fonts with no X11 dependencies and
install them to /usr/local/share... any other suggestions/comments?
