I wouldn't have thought so.  /usr/local/lib isn't really standard for
anything.  Even if we could patch OpenJDK to do this, the third party
apps would immediately break with any other JRE.

Doesn't it make more sense for the app to know where its native library
is, and load it from the right place?
