I don't see why we don't just link with -lalias and be done with it. It's
quite simple to do a dlopen(NULL) to do symbolic lookups if code impact
is a problem. Or just initialize the PacketAlias struct with
&functionname from libalias.
At least for the time being something like this is needed. Assumptions
about pathnames to libraries and versioning is likely to be a very
slippery business over the next few months until the dust settles.
Cheers,
