[PD-dev] FTGL is now part of Fink

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

could just use a hand to get Gem to use FTGL in the auto-builds...

> This library is very useful and very stable.  It's been at version  
> 2.1.2 since 2004 and doesn't seem to need any fixes.
>
> * I compiled this on 10.4, but it should compile fine on 10.3 since  
> it uses an old .xcode project.
>
> * This belongs in the 'graphics' section, since it is similar to  
> freetype219, and in fact depends on it.
>
> * 'fink -m --build-as-nobody rebuild' works fine
>
> * both the .info and the .deb validate with no problems.
