Really?  Yuck.  There's already enough bloat in my /usr/lib dir.

OK.  I was thinking of something a little more general -- I have 22 libs
with an aggregate 36 old major versions.  While the core OS will be using
the newest versions, there will be stuff in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/local/bin
that may be using the older ones.  I'd like to be able to stuff the old
major versions in a "old" directory, then sweep the system for executables
that now no longer can find their libs.

Thanks,
