I need to update the cache to get locally installed shared libs right.
A simple solution would be getting the dynamic linker to invoke ldconfig
if:
  o cache corrupt (a checksum doesn't hold)
  o cache too old

Another solution would be to provide a kernel module that keeps track
of filesystems, and udpates cache on demand (getting rid of ldconfig altogether)

Happy Hacking,
