It should be libGL.lsb.1. (lsb.1 implies the actual function list, version
of the spec, etc).

The run-time library will live in the usual place, /usr/lib. We do not
specify how it is implemented (could be as simple as a symlink).

I am still working out how to get the LSB DT_NEEDEDs in an application. The
two approaches are 1) a mklsb tool that goes in and changes the dynamic
section of an executable, or 2) a special set of libraries that you have to
link against that has the right name built into them.
