Freetype just has a couple of different versioning schemes. The version number
"9.7.3" in the .pc file corresponds to release 2.1.9, and "9.16.3" corresponds
to release 2.3.5. (And then there's the numbering scheme which it uses for its
.so versions, which is different yet again.)

See the file src/docs/VERSION.DLL in the freetype package for details.
