Drop FTGL and use pango and freetype directly. #312

FTGL appears to be unsupported lately. Switch to doing our own text handling using pango and freetype, e.g. following this description: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming/Modern_OpenGL_Tutorial_Text_Rendering_01 .

This might allow us to drop XQuartz on Macs, and use glfw to do our loading and initialization.
