Thanks for catching this.  I had it fixed in one of my earlier build 
scripts but I dropped the patch somewhere along the way.  As for the 
version number, I was including a static xft-config from the XFree86 
tree which had to be updated by hand.  I changed the build script for 
libXft to pre-process this file with sed to replace the version number 
and prefix.  Then I noticed that there was already an xft-config.in that 
was being preprocessed by configure but not being installed, so I 
instead grabbed this script and installed it to /usr/X11R6/bin/ in the 
build script; seems to work fine, but please check xft-config for errors 
and let me know if it is broken.

This should be fixed now in XFree86-prog-4.3.0-19 and libXft-2.1.5-2.

I was actually hoping to do a full check of the src and bin packages I 
made for Cygwin/X and make sure there are no conflicting files between 
them.  It would be easy to do, but I haven't had a chance yet.  Does 
anyone want to do this for me?  ;)
