Having all the needed libraries is a plus. Having to install them as
duplicates is not. It seems that the install script should be able to handle
this. To hand edit that shell script and./or replace all that stuff with
symlinks is a bit much.
Besides, do not we all know that disk space, memory and other resources are
unlimited :-)
