This huge patchset: http://www.infinality.net/blog/ (which mostly enables
patent-encumbered stuff and causes bugs such as bug 674311, so it shouldn't be
merged as a whole) has an "auto-autohint" feature which does what's being asked
for here. (But AFAICT it's disabled by default and enabled by a special
settings package they have.)

I can try to cherry-pick the relevant changes.
