Not all images have a package management tool inside, so depending on 
that is a no-go. Recently OE stopped shipping ld.so.conf so the ldconfig 
on boot won't get run. Doing it this way seemed to me the safest way to 
get a nice speedup and keep things working for the funky people needing 
ld.so.conf without a package manager :)
