I can think of a few methods off the top of my head:
1. Use the same method Imlib uses to find the libs. If the user
knows enough to hack around with Imlib to find more/less, (s)he
will be able to do the same with VO.
2. strings /path/to/libImlib.a | grep function-you-know # Doesn't necessarily work
3. Find, if you can, Imlib's config.cache and source it. Or, alternatively,
its Makefile and parse it.
4. Trial and Error. Always a lovely, and very pretty solution.
5. Sex. Won't necessarily help you in this particular situation,
but what the hell, ya know? ;-)
HTH...
