This is a major update, many fixes and improvements.
Main reason for the update was to sync the embedded sftp client
with putty after fixes for vulnerabilities.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
