Re: symlink app lib to common libs

(Non-guru type here again) Would it make sense to have a

You loose the only real benefit of the app/lib approach,
which is to have the required [non-base] libs it needs,
safe and sound with the application.
It's not a silver bullet.
Then THOSE libraries could be placed directly in the lib
sub-dir, rather than a symlink, could they not? In fact,
don't even bother with symlinks for the common libraries,
but just add (something like) "./lib' in front of the
global library path(???), to keep the non-base libs out
of /usr/local/lib. (Can this be done?)
Well, as I've mentioned, the knowledge of all the issues
involved here is almost certainly beyond my ability to
help. But it sounds like it's a clash of simple versus
manageable and that 'simple' probably has to give in the
long run. (I'd love to help in the effort, but I think
it's too far beyond me.)
