i wouldn't mind adding a new env knob like LD_LIBRARY_CACHE with the
same characteristics as LD_LIBRARY_PATH such as:
 - it is searched before the system cache
 - it is ignored in set*id environments

i suspect looking for something like ~/.ld.so/cache wouldn't be as
flexible, nor does it match the existing LD_xxx vars.
