How about using the /usr/local/etc/rc.d mechanism, and 'ldconfig -m' to merge in other directories containing share libraries? At least one package already installs like this (the Modula-3 package?) and it doesn't required a package install/remove to edit any files to remove that it think it installed. Perhaps there needs to be an opportunity to run some of those scripts from a different place (on the root filesystem?) earlier in the startup process. But I don't believe that a whole other mechanism is required to solve this problem. louie
