This is a bit mysterious.  I guess I don't understand why PyLucene
would want to poke at the internal VM libraries.

OpenJDK doesn't need to add its paths to /etc/ld.so.conf.d.  
It calls (for example)
putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server:\
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64:\
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/../lib/amd64" + the old path.)
and re-execs java.

Interesting.  What multilib-awareness do you think we need?  It's not
immediately clear to me where the beinefit would be.
