Ok, let's go with that unless someone else has a better idea.

I did after I finished reading the thread. :) Good catch.

Ok, I think I'm confused about one part of the patch or another then. It 
seems from your rc.d/ldconfig patch that all you are looking at are the 
names of the files in the ldconfig_local_d directories, but it occurs to me 
now that just the names won't really help, you actually need to store the 
paths to feed to ldconfig somewhere, which I presume is what you were going 
to include in the USE_LDCONFIG variable. Am I right so far? If so, then I 
don't understand how your patch to rc.d/ldconfig is going to work, but I may 
be missing something. :)
