configure: WARNING: "FTGL library not found. Native renderer will not have 
on-screen text"

As I mentioned my freetype install is rather messy, and I don't know exactly 
what Octave looks for. Below is what is in my include path.

$ ls -1 /sw/include/FTGL 
FTBBox.h
FTBitmapGlyph.h
FTCharToGlyphIndexMap.h
FTCharmap.h
FTContour.h
FTExtrdGlyph.h
FTFace.h

Thoughts?
