Yes, that is an option I have considered. But, if I understand this correctly, 
it would mean resolving some hundred symbols through dlsym and providing a glue 
function for each of them. Right?

(One other option I have just discovered is to place a symlink file in ~/lib, 
which seems to be in the search path of the dynamic library loader. Any 
thoughts about this?)
