It's from debian actually, /bin/whatever is a symlink to 
/etc/alternatives/whatever, which in turn a symlink to something else, 
and it's symlinks all the way down. ;)

But yeah, that's the library I was thinking of.

The proper way of doing it is to make a libfoo-postgres and libfoo-mysql 
RPMs and each would `update alternatives` in its postinst script and 
it'll all magically "just work". Except when it doesn't.
