Great.

I gave it a try, and ran into build problems.  Where is the
freetype/config/ftheader.h expected to come from?

  $ make
  make -f Makefile.Debug

To pack this program for Debian, it would be very useful to know what
the tarball will be called, as the debian source package should
inherit the name.  May I suggest 'mapnik-viewer'?

The source directory could need a README file with key info.  Please
consider this one:

Mapnik viewer
