no package manager? gads. well - i'd lean to the "then you're on your own
buddy" line there - u install libs, you remember to run ldconfig, or suffer :)
maybe i'm just too harsh :) though your way is clean. why don't we make it

if [ ! -e /etc/ld.handled ]; then
  /sbin/ldconfig
fi

and opkg adds a /etc/ld.handled to its package?

similar effect to what you did butbasically if someone knows they will handle
ldconfig then they just need to throw in that file into their system one way or
another?
