First of all, running ldconfig without arguments does nothing bad. Running 
ldconfig without flags and with arguments does.

Secondly, what is the command:
ldconfig /usr/lib

supposed to do, according to newbie friendly logic?
Because it should be possible to "just have the linker create hints for one 
directory".

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
