+# FindFreetype
+# ------------
+#
+# Locate FreeType library
+#
+# This module defines
+#
+# ::
+#
+#   FREETYPE_LIBRARIES, the library to link against
+#   FREETYPE_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to FREETYPE
+#   FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS, where to find headers.
+#   FREETYPE_VERSION_STRING, the version of freetype found (since CMake 2.8.8)
+#   This is the concatenation of the paths:
+#   FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build
+#   FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_freetype2
+#
+#
+#
+# $FREETYPE_DIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
+# ./configure --prefix=$FREETYPE_DIR used in building FREETYPE.

+# Ugh, FreeType seems to use some #include trickery which
+# makes this harder than it should be. It looks like they
+# put ft2build.h in a common/easier-to-find location which
+# then contains a #include to a more specific header in a
+# more specific location (#include <freetype/config/ftheader.h>).
+# Then from there, they need to set a bunch of #define's
+# so you can do something like:
+# #include FT_FREETYPE_H
+# Unfortunately, using CMake's mechanisms like include_directories()
+# wants explicit full paths and this trickery doesn't work too well.
+# I'm going to attempt to cut out the middleman and hope
+# everything still works.
+
+# Adapted for OpenSceneGraph until the updates here for finding the debug Windows library freetyped are released with CMake
