I don't understand this feature at all! Freetype already uses auto-hinting
for fonts which do not provide hinting data, in fact that was one of the
prerequisites for enabling the bytecode interpreter in Fedora, and I cherry-
picked the relevant change from the huge Infinality patchset and got it
upstreamed. Forcing auto-hinting for all fonts effectively means disabling
the bytecode interpreter by default, which is surely not a good idea.
