Okay, I just checked the ftgl tarballs on sourceforge. The 2.1.2 release
has FTGL.h, the 2.1.3 release has ftgl.h.

Looking over the NEWS file, I think we should enforce the usage of 2.1.3
(2.1.2 is from 2004):

Especially the "crash bugs" and "memory leaks".

I know this will cause some grief, no need to tell me that.
