Do you really need multi-segment shared
libs, or just multiple shared libs?

That is, if some functionality can't
fit in the same segment, don't try
to squeeze a different segment, just
make a new shared library.

e.g. if mathlib expanded too much,
we might end up w/ a mathlib and 
a mathlib2 ... with mathlib perhaps
invoking some of the functionality
from the second library as it's
"implementation".
