unfortunately we still get no FTGL-support in the nightly builds.
the problem is, that while configure now finds the libftgl.a, it does
not find libfreetype.so


usually Gem relies on pkg-config to determine all dependencies of
packages like ftgl.
since there is neither an ftgl.pc nor an ftgl-config, the paths to the
freetype libs and headers are not found, resulting in not-detecting a
usable ftgl.


something like this should do:

PKG_FTGL_CFLAGS="-I/sw/include $(freetype-config --cflags)"
PKG_FTGL_LIBS="-L/sw/lib -lftgl $(freetype-config --libs)" ./configure ...

(with "..." being all the other flags)
