Dang!

I forgot something vitally importat!

You will not get Xft support unless modify config.h after you execute
configure.

There is a line probably something like:
/* #undef XFT */

Change that one to:
#define XFT 1

This is a must since configure never finds Xft and will therefor remove
support for it. Sorry, don't know why I forgot that one.
