[Image-SIG] Compile problem with 1.1.4 and freetype2

[Theo. Sean Schulze]

OK, I think I have been able to fix this.  Looking at the error message 
again, it seemed that I needed to add an #include statement in 
_imagingtf.c.  So, I added "#include <ft2build.h>" just before line 18 
in _imagingtf.c, and it seems to have compiled.
