A valid concern.  However, this will definitely not happen – how will
you specify four or even more C function pointers within an
environment variable?  It would be necessary instead to specify a text
string that represents the selected SVG rendering engine, which in
turn would mean that FreeType had to prepare support for this specific
engine.  But exactly that I want to avoid.  Its not the job of
FreeType to take care of harmonizing APIs to other libraries.  I want
a single SVG engine to be selected at configure time as the default,
and for this very engine there will be support.  If an application
wants something else, it must provide the hooks by itself doing a call
at runtime.
