Wow, thanks fop. This seems like a safe thing to do, and I've seen
other java apps have to do the same kind of crap. FWIW, it seems
debian had a patch for this in the past, but doesn't seem to now:

The other thing I notice is that on fedora the fop script is really
simple, but the upstream one has a bunch of crap that might be pulling
in awt.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/fop

Anyway, it seems like the right thing to do.
