Why would you think it is dangerous? All I proposed is to tell the cddlib's configure where (namely, in SAGE_LOCAL) to look for shared libraries and headers. Yes, I know that Dave (Kirkby) would quote a libtool developer here, who says that having several libraries with the same name is dangerous. Well, avoiding the trouble boils down to imposing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to not have such and such things in it, at least on the user side. Quite a few spkg's do exactly this, look for libraries and headers in SAGE_LOCAL... If one does not allow this (i.e. replacing a system library with oen provided by Sage), a huge number of tricky changes need to be implemented.
