I've copied a large part of the autofit module into ttfautohint;
additionally, I'm calling some FreeType routines for generic reading
and parsing of the input font.

ttfautohint doesn't use a modified FreeType library. However, the
copied autofit stuff has been slightly modified since I have to access
various data structures which aren't publicly exposed normally.

The stuff from Erik regarding the autohinter is exactly this.
However, I have yet to test whether I can `translate' it easily into
bytecode instructions.

PS: BTW, I've delayed integration of Erik's patches until this release
is out.
