Of course.  But that's pretty nonstandard.  Plus, you have to worry about
shifting version numbers.  Do you mean /usr/lib/libnetsnmpmibs.5.0.8.dylib?
Or maybe you want /sw/lib/libORBit.0.5.17.dylib.  Or does this one have a
/sw/lib/libORBit.0.dylib symlink?  It's a lot more standard to let the
linker resolve this kind of thing at link time.  And definitely more
cross-platform compatible.
