I take it back, the new etc/rc does deal with it.
But I think we may have a potential tech-support problem the way the
current code works. I suggest getting rid of 'ldconfig_paths_aout'
entirely and instead having /etc/rc scan the standard ldconfig_paths
and synthesize an a.out ldconfig path by building $dir/aout out of
each element in the original.
Even better, though I know people are going to hate this: Have the
ldconfig program automatically look for an 'aout' subdirectory (and add
an option to disable the 'feature') so user's original /etc/rc files will
still work.
