If, in addition to libsupc++, libstdc++ is required, it would
be very bad for third party implementations of the C++ Standard
Library such as ours or STLport. If it's not libstdc++ that's
required, perhaps the library could be dlopened and the verbose
handler defined in it looked up on demand (by terminate) instead
of linking the whole thing in.
