  I'm looking into this. a mix of creating a new directory, copying
the file there, then unlinking, linking and unlinking the new copies to the
old name is more likely to help. The problem is that it's also bad for
the current session where that change is done since you will end up with
multiple in-memory copies of all system libraries...
  It is gonna be a bit tricky to set-up, either as a post-install step
or very early on during boot. It's very easy to break too ...
