Add Package FTGL

Add Package FTGL

So here's another package expression (attached) -- which is dependent on
glu of the freeglut.scm package, fyi. Everything in the process seems to
build and install, just fine -- but there is a warning when I run
through it, that says: 

"WARNING: (gnu packages ftgl): `freetype' imported from both (guix
licenses) and (gnu packages fontutils)"

Seems harmless enough; So when I remove the module fontutils along with
the related freetype input, it complains that it doesn't have freetype
and the build fails. 


//

Also, as an expression, I think it would probably be more ideal just to
add this to fontutils.scm --rather than to keep it as a lone-ranger.

Hi!

I can’t build it because it depends on freeglut, on your message about
freeglut hasn’t yet reached the mailing list.

So, initial comments inline below:

This is wrong.  :-)

To address that, use a #:renamer (to rename one of the conflicting
bindings) or #:select (to select the one you want).  Grep the other
packages for examples.

Or maybe we could have gl.scm, which would contain freeglut, glu, ftgl,
and all that?

http://ftgl.sourceforge.net maybe?

Rather: “Font rendering library for OpenGL applications” (that is: no
“A”, and no period.)

If it’s LGPL version 2.0 *or later*, make sure to use ‘lgpl2.0+’.

Overall this looks like a good start!  Indentation is wrong: please
check ‘Coding Style’ in the ‘HACKING’ file and/or existing package
definitions in the other files.

Thanks!
