I think wrapping is good, but I don't think we can anticipate all the
formats a user might want.  I've attached a patch that allows us to use
"set if unspecified" semantics – not really sure how meaningful those
are – but perhaps we would need a GUIX_-prefixed environment variable
once again.  Barring an upstream change from GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE to
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_PATH anyway.

WDYT?
