9 So far I don't see how... Virtual would mean that the same functionality is
10 provided by different packages, and that they can be exchanged at runtime.
11 However, for rpc there are different library *names* (sonames) to be linked,
12 and for nls the soversion is different... Even if the headers were identical,
13 that wouldnt work :/
