* src/smooth/ftgrays.c: adding experimental "gamma" support. This
produces smoother glyphs at small sizes for very little cost
* src/autohint/ahglyph.c, src/autohint/ahhint.c: various fixes to
the auto-hinter. They merely improve the output of sans-serif fonts.
Note that there are still problems with serifed fonts and composites
(accented characters)
* tests/gview.c: updated the debugging glyph viewer to show the
hints generated by the "autohint" module
