Maybe, maybe not.  This makes packages BIG.  In the windows world,
InstallShield checks to see whether its version of a library is more
recent than an existing one; if it is, it installs it, and if it isn't, it
uses the new one.  A package system that did this would be good- does RPM
do this already?
