I wish for an include mechanism! :)
I think this also makes sense when you have multiple flavors of the
same lib (for example libgtk versus libgtk-directfb).
Do you strip the "well known symbols" you've seen on each arch so that
one only has to specify the other symbols? Or will each maintainer
have to maintain one file per arch with arch specific symbols?
