Would we ever be in this situation?  If we know that we are:

1)  Installing on GNU/Linux, and
2)  Doing --prefix=/usr, or shlibdir=/lib, or whatever we did that makes
    us affect /lib, and
3)  Messing with symlinks in /lib during install time,

would ldconfig ever /not/ be available?

(Personally, I've only ever messed with 3 flavors/vendors/distros of Linux,
but they all used ldconfig.)
