Sorry, I still don't think I quite understand. Is your position essentially
that we should allow wheels to link against any system library included
in (for example) stock openSUSE 11.5? Or that we should allow wheels
to link against any library that can be installed into openSUSE 11.5 using
`yum install <library>`?
