Sort of a shame that one - actually if the two modules are different
version of the same library and the symbols are being put into
the program's symbol table (ie it isn't a dlopen call) then the
functions from the second library will only be used for functions
that aren't present in the first.  Chaos is likely to ensue..

Or at least remember the directories the library wasn't found it.
Then search by basename first...
(need to do something horrid just in case a library has to be
loaded from 2 or more places.)
