0.3 を 0.7 に 上げようとしたのだが、

• patch が二つあって、一つは適用済。もう一つが Makefile.PL

Makefile.PL の方は、それなりに工夫がされたが、うまく行っていない
devel/p5-Devel-CheckLib を一ヶ所変更して、

p5-Fonts-FreeType の Makefile.PL に次のように print 文を入れると

52  print "Before\n";
53  # finally use check_lib_or_exit so that it gives appropriate warnings to the user
54  check_lib_or_exit(
55      %MakeMakerFlags,
56      %header_config,
57  );
58  print "After\n";

After まで到達しない
