We need SDL_ttf removed ASAP.

Don't panic. Newer versions of SDL_ttf are not infringing apples patents anymore.

I hardly believe TMW infringes any of those patents.

1. SDL_ttf uses FreeType 2 (which do not use those patented methods by default)
2. I very much doubt TMW has its own font rasterization code which uses the patented methods
