I would have to say I have NEVER seen libs in a dir called /usr/X11/lib.
I HAVE seen them in /usr/lib/X11, but I have seen them more often in 
/usr/lib.

However, why is it a problem to have ldconfig look in all these places?
Would it not be more robust to catch the weird configurations?  I can't
imagine that anyone would worry about the run time of an ldconfig.
