Ah, sorry, I wasn't considering that piece of the puzzle.
Well, it seems like there are several ways you could go with it.
Count on a symlink named "libalias.so" in some well-known place. Or,
make the hard-coded path to the library overridable from the ppp
Makefile. Or, have ppp search a few likely directories to find the
pathname for dlopen. Or, muck around in src/release/Makefile.
For that matter, I could probably learn to live with the dlfind()
idea if it just always found the highest minor number where minor
numbers existed at all:
const char *dlfind(const char *name, int version);
I think the leading "lib" part of the name should be implicit, so
that the call would be like: const char *path = dlfind("alias", 2);
