Funny you should mention this.. I just wiped my first attempt at an
`ldconfig -a <dir>' command out of the CVS tree after it had sat there
unfinished for a week. I should go back and do it right at some point,
but the basic idea is good. I would say something like:
ldconfig -a <dir>
Adds the shared libs in dir to the search path if they're
not already in it (in which case simply refresh old entries and
add new ones, don't simply get bigger and bigger each time :-).
If <dir> isn't specified, it has the effect of going through the
internal path anyway and refreshing each dir as a side-effect anyway
so you have a `refresh' command. Then the packages would just
do a an `ldconfig -a ${PREFIX}/lib' and life would be happy!
