Well, not sure. AFAICS, checks for libxft are done only when either
standalone or standalone-xft is specified. Also, Xft is only used in
src/mbtheme-standalone.c, which as its name implies, is the standalone
mode.

So, I'll remove that dependency in the patch that disable standalone
mode (pending a test-build without libXft, but pretty confident it'll
work, nothing selects it in matchbox, I never manually selected it, and
all my previous builds were successfull).

Thanks!

Yann E. MORIN.
