Research direction
No source file, test, platform, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating how Arduino IDE 1.0.6 packages or installs drivers, then compare that behavior with the linked FTDI installation guide. Done means establishing whether FTDI drivers should be included and documenting or implementing the agreed distribution behavior.
