Okay.  I'm starting to figure this out a bit more.  The configure
process determines which shared library the app should look for,
right?  Does it pick the first library which satisfies certain
parameters?  (Often leaving more recent libs untouched in the
process?) 

I guess this is more of a messy lib directory problem than anything
else.
