additional library may be needed for compiling

[GoogleCodeExporter]

libfreetype6-dev also seems needed for compilation, it would be great if it 
could be added to the list of dependencies. 

This is the error I got on a 12.04 Ubuntu:
Error: Command src/testing_targets/build/gyp_testing_targets returned non-zero 
exit status 1 in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/esd
Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `freetype2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'freetype2' found

Oh, snap, thanks for bringing this up. I had this fixed for a while, but forgot 
to push the changes. Should be fixed now: the 'idempotent' OTS target, which 
depended on libfreetype, is no longer built by default. It can be built 
manually, if needed, and only then libfreetype needs to be installed.
