Mastodawn

I'm using libXft now to render text in the Mastodon client on #IRIX to better handle posts in languages with umlauts etc.

@flexion Hearing that Xft works on Irix is quite a thing, like I think that GLSL would be less surprising.

@jwz xft can be found in SGUG-RSE. GLSL needs a newer OpenGL version than we have on IRIX.
But soon there will be WebKit (still crashes a lot) and Go on IRIX 😎

@flexion My xft amazement was partially: wait didn't Irix predate Unicode? (Not technically but I think practically.)
