[R-SIG-Mac] rgl.open does not work

[Jan de Leeuw]

in src/ext/FTVectorizer.cpp lines 8-9 change

#ifdef __APPLE_CC__
     typedef GLvoid (*GLUTesselatorFunction)(...);

to

#ifdef __APPLE_CC__
     typedef GLvoid (*GLUTesselatorFunction)();

then rgl compiles on OS X (using g++-4.0, even with FTGL)
