All fencing requests go through the opensaf_reboot script today. Have you thought about build-time options for how to link with these two libraries? I suppose the most flexible approach would be build-time options to select which libraries to link with (so you can select to link with just one of them, or both at the same time). If you link with both libraries, would it be possible at run-time to probe the system and select the correct one to use?
