In the near term, I suggest we not worry too much about it.  The server 
will not have font modules for long as FreeType is now the only font file
loader we need (XTT has been integrated into FreeType); the need to 
select between FreeType and XTT has been eliminated.

But, if we do need this kind of functionality, we could hack the code to 
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or prepend directory names to libraries.
