That seems well outside the charter of this patch.  Also, how would
we even get that information?  A typical application doesn't know
exactly what libraries it's linked with or where they came from on
the filesystem.  Maybe one could find that out with sufficient
platform-specific hackery, but I don't believe we could do it
portably.
