I think we need to check for ftgl.h, at least if FTGL/ftgl.h is not
found since I don't see any reason to assume that ftgl.h will always
be installed in a directory called FTGL on all systems.  Looking at
the other checks for header files, I assumed that listing both in the
AC_CHECK_HEADERS macro would be OK, and I don't understand why it is
failing for you.
