They mostly link directly against them, but they may dlopen.
In any case, hiding them in a directory other than /usr/lib
only introduces incompatibility with other platforms and
violates the previous direction from ARC & management to make
libraries with public interfaces directly available in the
default path instead of hiding them in out of the way places
like /usr/sfw/lib or its other obsolete brethren.
/usr/lib is already full of libraries - another dozen or two
more is barely noticable.
