That might be interesting..  If it accepted multiple filenames, it
would also make possible:

	if [ -f /etc/ld.so.conf ]; then
		_LDC=/etc/ld.so.conf
	fi
	for i in ${local_dirs}; do
		if [ -f $i/ld.so.conf ]; then
			_LDC="${_LDC} $i/ld.so.conf"
		fi
	done
	ldconfig ${_LDC}

with very little fuss..
