freetype-devel installs text file named VERSION.DLL in usr\share\doc, which should be renamed

Description

The presence of a text file with an otherwise well-known extension of a binary in the doc directory may lead to unexpected results. I suggest we rename that file to something more expected, such as VERSION.TXT.

If this should be reported upstream due to xplat implications, I can do that.

We will not rename that, as long it like that at the vendor side. I think I already explained it in another ticket. So if you think it's wrong report upstream. Thanks

See #81

Indeed. I knew I'd seen it before, but could not recall even posting that bug.

I understand your reasoning. I will report upstream.

Sorry to post to a closed ticket.

Fixed upstream: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?47472

With the next build, it might be useful to add this back to the main package and not just devel.
