Exactly.  Right now, `Foundry.in' gets simply copied to `Foundry'.

I think the proper way is to add an option to the configure script,
say, --with-urw-afm=PATH, to enable a special directory in addition to
the directories given by `gs -h' (this help output must be parsed
accordingly by the configure script).

Looks like a TODO for Deri :-)
