Or rather, one not appearing where it is expected.

OPENVRML_FT_CONST needs to get defined to "const" (for recent versions
of FreeType). configure should have figured this out; but apparently the
test didn't do what it was supposed to.

I have a hunch as to why this is. If I'm right, the attached patch to
configure.ac should do the trick. (Run autoreconf to regenerate
configure after applying it. If you don't have autoconf available, let
me know and I will create a patch to configure for you.)

If it still doesn't work, please send your config.log.
