It would not make much sense. We are talking about a very small set
of #define and 1-line functions. Each binding should always provide
its own separate 50-lines C library. Moreover, I do not see
anything bad a priori in one binding using another one.

That's convince me. Probably moving the symbolic links to
/usr/lib (and using versioned .so names) is the best option.

Maybe. But the scary scenario of Denis where you end up compiling
against an old version still applied, doesn't it?
