Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the response.

I am inclined to vote for (1) for now. It might be worth a figuring out
how to have ldconfig (or some other utility) output the real search path
that the dynamic linker uses for the future, parsing ld.so.conf and
friends seems to be fragile, this is not the first time that it has had
problems.
