Description
When we build with --features bundled, we need to add this to the harfbuzz-sys/build.rs:
if cfg!(feature = "freetype") {
cfg.define("HAVE_FREETYPE", "1");
}
Unfortunately, this will fail as we need to set up additional build flags for the build to find freetype (and this is even more unfriendly on Windows).
This gets a bit annoying when freetype is in the default features ...

Research direction
Start in harfbuzz-sys/build.rs and reproduce the bundled build with the freetype feature enabled. Investigate the additional build flags needed for freetype discovery, including the Windows case. Done means the bundled build with freetype succeeds rather than failing to locate freetype.
