[vtkusers] Freetype problem when compiling vtk nightly on Mac OS X 10.4.8

I'm using vtk's freetype library and doing a ppc build with gcc. I  
tried both an X and a Cocoa build, with the same error.
It seems the culprit might be a header in the vtk freetype directory  
"vtk_freetype_mangle.h" which renames many FT symbols to start with  
"_vtk_freetype_", but I'm not sure what I could do about this.

I forgot to mention that I've built the current vtk release version  
(5.0.2) for X without getting this error.
However, my Java bindings don't work there, i.e., whenever the  
vtkPanel window tries to render I get a JVM crash, which is why I'm  
trying the CVS version.

Here it is – Let me know if any other info would be helpful
