Which OpenBSD version are you using ? it that 4.1 (with X.Org 6.9 and
thus Freetype 2.1) or -current (with X.Org 7.2 and freetype 2.2.1)?

On those 2 versions the official freetype build system don't seem to
build this directory either. So I'm not sure if it's some "experimental"
feature not yet enabled or an obsolete one, supposed to be removed.
If someone has some information, I'd like to hear about it.
