At least, it's nice for people who want to make install stuff to
/local/lib.  Why anybody would actually want to do that is a bit beyond
me, as it is trivial (at least on linux) to fake a simple deb package
using alien on a tgz, but you could still need ldconfig after doing
this.  

ldconfig is some times a nice substitute for administrator prowess.  ;)
