Hi,

the problem is not with the quotes in freetype's .pc file at the end. I haven't
much time to find a proper fix for this yet but here is some info.

According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3571, pkgconfig
should handle quotes well. As I didn't find this before, I thought that the
quotes shouldn't be there.
Because of the multilib fix (which I have to find what exactly it fixes) the
quotes are propagated into freetype-config through "pkg-config --variable=..."
which returns value of the variable together with quotes. Concatenating this
with a relative path returns a path which fails the build of ClanLib (
-I"/usr/include"/freetype2 in this case). I have to find whether it is correct
that pkg-config returns the value together with quotes.
The best solution to this would be to remove the multilib patch but I have to
find whether the problem is gone are how to fix it another way. The current
"fix" works for now, so I'll keep it there yet.

Regards

Marek
