Ayup.  What I'd like:  code that scans an existing shareable image to find
its major and minor IDs and symbol vector, and then compares it to a vector
handed to it, creating a linker options file that's compatible if at all
possible (new names at the end, etc.) with appropriate GSMATCH.  What I'd
settle for in the interim:  code that parses an existing perlshr_bld.opt
to figure out the current state and then uses a vector handed to it to
construct a linker options file, etc.
