I also spent some time looking at the System.loadLibrary method provided
by the JVM to load libraries (see attached NativeTest.java).

Basically this call will only accept an unqualified library name - 'pam'
for example - which it then maps into a versionless 'libpam.so' library
name - which does not exist on Ubuntu Natty!  I can see anyway to inject
a version number alongside the library name.

As I put in my previous comment, I don't know exactly how much of an
issue this is i.e. I can't easily tell how many packages rely on
version-less library links being present.
