Original idea was two knobs.. one for USE_LDCONFIG, and one for using the 
ld.so.conf.d directory and setup.

The later has been requested of me many times, but we've not implemented it 
generically.  I think it's time to do so -- but it should be tied to 
USE_LDCONFIG at a minimum, I just don't know if it should always be enabled or 
just sometimes.  (Always means the ld.so.conf file gets the include line, so 
it's NOT a lot of bytes.)
