Make macros for header file names optional.
We no longer have to take care of the 8.3 file name limit; this
allows us (a) to introduce longer, meaningful file names, and (b) to
avoid macro names in `#include' lines altogether since some
compilers (most notably Visual C++) doesn't support this properly.
*/*: Replace
#include FOO_H
with
#include <freetype/foo.h>
or something similar. Also update the documentation.
