Damn.  It's not a generalized solution like I was hoping it would be.

This reminds me of a time when I said to myself... ``Damn.  All I
want to do is build some shared libraries, but every shared
library-supporting package I've seen has its own mechanism, and none
of them is clearly better than the others.  I bet I could write a
little shell script....''

I guess it's up to me again (or whoever else feels like doing the
dirty work) to figure out a way to fix this bugger. ;)
