BiDi support
------------
Some languages are written right-to-left. In order to display such languages
correctly, you need to build VDR with BIDI=1. This will link to the "fribidi"
library and implement a function that prepares bidirectional texts to be
displayed correctly. Since BiDi support adds some runtime overhead by requiring
additional memory allocation and copying, this feature is not compiled in
by default, so that users that have no need for this don't get any overhead.
