Freetype sed command

[LFS-User@…]

The bytecode interpreter patch for the FreeType instructions has been replaced with a sed command. The command is cryptic and not self-explanatory at all. The text in the book which explains this sed is that it "uncomments configuration options".

We can do better than this. This command needs to explain what it does, and why we are *changing* these configuration options.

Maybe: This command enables compilation of the bytecode interpreter by uncommenting its line in the configuration options file.

You should also consider to inform the user about a possible patent infringement issue when enabling the Bytecode Interpreter, see:

There's a reason why the usual Linux box has a fuzzy font-look ... ;)

Clarified the explanation of the sed command that enables the bytecode interpreter in the FreeType instructions. Additionally, I sent a note to the -dev list about the possibility of patent infringement.

Closing the bug however, and if it is determined that we need to revisit the patent thing, we'll create a new bug.
