Action on ftgl port PR?

Hi

I’ve had a PR open since January 3 that fixes the FTGL build and applies
available upstream PRs. Initially, there were too many patches applied
haphazardly and Ryan requested changes. In an attempt to make the process I
used *repeatable* (mostly a matter of using `git format-patch` and then
sensibly applying the patches in order with edits as required), I put a
lengthy comment in the portfile that describes it.

The port has been ready with no action since January 22 and it leaves
several ports unable to be built because of FTGL (I am using devel/gource):

devel/gource
games/chromium-bsu
graphics/h3dapi
graphics/libcaca
science/gfsview
science/root5
www/logstalgia

PR: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27288
Ticket: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/71434

If further changes are required, I can look at them, but I’ve tried to make
sure that what is merged is usable since the upstream author seems to have
mostly abandoned this library, and has certainly abandoned releases for it.

Thanks,
-a
