In my case, I noticed this issue while attempting to cross-compile
GRUB for another system. It needs to use the cross-compiled freetype
configuration, but the build system has its native freetype-config
installed as well.  Using a variable here allowed me to specify the
correct freetype-config as per the usual AC_CHECK_PROGS behavior.

This isn't a big problem since I am able to build on the target system
as well, but it would be nice to have working out of the box.

Thanks.
