“Horrible”?

Fedora already ships a manual page for this program, documenting its
command-line options.  I didn't make up the name.

Maybe we could call it “dl” (“dynamic loader” or “dynamic linker”) or
“rtld” (“run-time dynamic linker”) instead.  But fewer people will
recognize those command names.

Thanks,
Florian
