This is not how it will work.  Moazin did it right.  Handling the
`FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' environment variable is something that has to be
coded separately.

For example, the setting

  set FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=svg:renderer=foo

might internally map to the function hooks

  foo_init_svg
  foo_free_svg
  foo_render_svg

or something like that.

On the other hand: Do we *really* need to use an environment variable
to control which SVG engine gets used?  This looks like overkill to
me.  If there is ever a desire to do that, we could add it later.
