Agreed, multiple dynamic OS library paths would also violate the KIS
principle.

Applications should have separate directories i.e.,
/usr/local/apache/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib, to keep from overwriting each
other (as in /usr/local/lib) but, IMHO, nobody's yet made a compelling
argument for multiple OS library paths.
