Well, I take that back.  Tried installing 2.7.5 just in case, and now it works

Summary:
- Yosemite installer breaks XQuartz configuration (probably something trivial 
like removing a symbolic link)

There does indeed seem to be a missing symbolic link. In previous versions, I can find a symlink from libfreetype.6.dylib to libfreetype.dylib in /usr/X11/lib. In Yosemite, this is missing. This causes configure to fail.

I tried some ways to work around this in configure by using freetype.6 as library name instead of freetype, but I kept running into one silly problem after another and decided it didn't really seemed worth it.

Instead of installing a different version of XQuartz, a workaround should probably be to:
cd /usr/X11/lib
ln -s libfreetype.6.dylib libfreetype.dylib
(but I have not tested this).

I think this will break other apps as well that want to use freetype, so a bug should probably be filed with Apple.
