Peace, friends.<br>
John meant that LuaTeX can use any font on the computer.<br>
Martin meant that it doesn't use libraries to do so.<br>
There probably was a confusion on the word <i>library</i>.<br>
So: LuaTeX can use any font, but you have to kpath-search for them
and extract any info by yourself; you're not helped by fontconfig
(although I suppose you can make LuaTeX read it). And then you can
build you own library, of course (I guess luaotfload -- which isn't
built in LuaTeX but is independent code -- does something like that,
to avoid searching all directories each time a font is called).<br>
<br>
So everybody's right. Isn't it wonderful?<br>

Yes. But the main difference between XeTeX and LuaTeX is that XeTeX
uses system libraries to find fonts (e.g. fontconfig), while LuaTeX
doesn't.
