How about getting the package installer to do the test and select the
appropriate binary (or at least dl lib)? Of course, that'd screw up machines
which nfs mount /usr/bin, but do many people use diskless workstations these
days? And you wouldn't have to run the checks every time the application
started up.
Just a thought...
