[SDL] S Location of freetype when compiling SDL_ttf on Mac

[Michael Ryan Bannon]

Thanks for everybody's help.  I eventually got it working using Eric's 
suggestion.  However, I was having one small problem.  Because I'm on 
10.3.9, I was getting the following errors:

Undefined symbols:
_HICopyAccessibilityActionDescription referenced from QuickTime expected to 
be defined in Carbon
_HICopyAccessibilityRoleDescription referenced from QuickTime expected to be 
defined in Carbon
_LLCStyleInfoCheckForOpenTypeTables referenced from QuickTime expected to be 
defined in ApplicationServices
_LLCStyleInfoGetUserRunFeatures referenced from QuickTime

The solutions is at http://www.idevapps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5661

If you're interested as to what I was testing, it's just some TTF that was 
showing up on 10.4 but not on 10.3.9 in my game (came up as [] on 10.3.9_. 
I wanted to run a simple, bare-bones SDL_ttf test with my font to see it 
it's not appearing because of the game or SDL_ttf/freetype.  (Looks like 
SDL_ttf is the culprit, but I'm going to check the docs some more.)

Thanks,

Ryan
