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.
