 Then you have to deal with consistency issues.  They do not exist for
self-contained libraries that act locally only like png, but they may
arise with libraries that interact with the outer world, e.g. any that
makes use of networking.  For example using different versions of the X11
library by different parts of a process will certainly lead to surprises.
