    Add note to README declaring snf fonts to be deprecated
    
    pcf was introduced to replace snf in X11R5 in 1991:
        http://www.x.org/wiki/X11R5/#index56h3
    22 years is long enough to move off a font format that was alive for
    less than a decade before that, and widely considered a bad idea even
    then:

    Correct comment in configure.ac about scalable font support
    
    Bitstream Speedo support was removed in commit d50de26430c1a114a.
    All scalable font support now goes through FreeType, which can
    also handle some bitmap font formats as well.
