It would be very nice to bring back that flexibility. Compose.jl is currently updated to using the 'Require' strategy. But LibFontConfig doesn't compile on my install because of a missing library. And there I'm stuck in solving yet another dependency.... Possible, I'm sure, but I just wanted to make Jewel work on 0.4.
julia> ccall((:FcInit,:libfontconfig),UInt8,()) ERROR: error compiling anonymous: could not load library "libfontconfig" no error
