You are right that your change got overwritten. What you have to do is
to modify the Fink package description, that is the file
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/libs/libftgl1.info,
so that fink executes the change that you did by hand. If you manage to
do this, then the problem will be fixed for everybody, not just for you.
To test the modification, you would copy that file, plus the
corresponding *.patch file, into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/ and
then edit the *.info file by adding a PatchScript or by modifying the
*.patch file. This is not difficult, but if you have never done it, it
is probably better to leave it to the package maintainer. You can help
him by describing the change you made, for example by sending him a
patch such as the following:
$ diff -U1 FTGL/include/FTTextureGlyph.h{~,}
