At runtime other systems search some sort of shared library path to find an appropriate library to link.  Darwin is different.

Most ELF systems can (and regularly do) encode the load-path into the binaries. If you're using GNU libtool, the -R<path> (if memory serves) link-time flag is translated into the appropriate link-time magic, although I must confess I prefer Mach-O's mechanism. While it may well be true that in this case Juan doesn't need jails in order to accomplish his requirements, that isn't to say that a) they're not useful, and b) existing facilities provide the same functionality, because they don't. jails are one of the relatively few features of FreeBSD that Darwin lacks.
