JDK-6874788 - Simplify sanity checking: remove freetype_versioncheck.exe and get the version info from header file

Sub Tasks

Description
When building with OPENJDK=true on Windows XP using the Visual Studio 2008 compiler the sanity check fails claiming "ERROR: FreeType version  2.3.0  or higher is required."

Upon investigation it was determined that build/windows-i586/btbins/freetype_versioncheck.exe built OK.

Running freetype_versioncheck.exe in a Cygwin window gives no output and exit status = 53

Running the same executable in a "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt" window generates a pop-up.  Here is an ascii replica:

   freetype_versioncheck.exe - Unable To Locate Component

   This application has failed to start because FreeType-2.1.10-MSVC-8b2.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

                        [ OK ]

This freetype check is a pain.

Tim, do you know where the freetype is coming from? cygwin? or a copy of our /java/devtools/* versions?
