The latter seems to be more common among language runtimes, but I'm not sure if
there are going to be library path issues on some systems if we go down that
route.
Let's find out. It seems much better to use the filesystem than mangle the
filenames.
Our envisioned (but unimplemented) library versioning scheme entailed
attaching sha-1's (of the types in the crate + metadata) to file names.
