Well, I need them both to be in the library :)

For instance, I'm creating a testing harness.  Some of the devices being tested match closer to the patented hinting and some to the autohinter.  I do use both.

Also, I don't think there should be an option to turn on the unpatented hinter if the parsing of that option is ignored.  If the decision of the freetype team is to not allow both to be used, I think the option should be removed also.

first of all, it's not possible to have both the unpatented and patented hinter in the library. You must select only one of them.

this is purely intentional. And there is absolutely no use for the unpatented hinter if you already have the patented one. the unpatented hinter is only used to deal with some curious Asian fonts that also work very well with the patented one.

It seems that when you've enabled the patented hinter, you can no longer turn on the unpatented one.  I believe that is because the parsing code for the parameter to do so gets removed when you enable the patented code.

This patch leaves the code in anytime that the unpatented hinter is included in the sourcecode.
