I think you are missing the point of my tool - each library resides in a separate
directory by default. Though you can override this.

Because of the above you can have more than one version of the same library.

And I won't believe that introducing new features does not screw up things, so
having more than one version of the same library might help to have access to
both bleeding edge features and enjoy stability.

Suppose for GIMP you need stability and for Firefox - new features. In the framework
of my tool you can base GIMP and Firefox on different versions of gtk+ and friends.
