:    Hmm..  I think there is a bug in /etc/rc in regards to the handling of
:    'aout' subdirectories.  It seems to only ldconfig /usr/lib/aout.  It
:    ...

    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.
