Windows 7 builds - freetype2 extension FTBFS

I apologize, the error message I posted earlier was for a branch which was not even merged into the current git origin/master.

I just switched back to the real “origin/master” branch… Now I get a completely different error message.

Windows 7, with ms visual C++ 2010 SP1 x86
