The question is whether pythonv makes any difference here.  IOW, if you used
plain ol' virtualenv with some custom-location libraries, you'd have the same
problem right?

If so, then in both cases you'd have to arrange for LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set
correctly for things to work.  So pythonv wouldn't need to do anything
special.
