That's certainly an option. But to the best of my knowledge most client
distros that people are running (think Ubuntu 12.4, Debian stable, random
version of Fedora or OpenSUSE, Magaia, Mint, Arc, 50 others) don't support
running conainers, either.

No, I really think the way to go is to have all my libraries included in
a tar file, install that in a directory, have a little wrapper script that
sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and be a happy camper. The big problem with that is
libraries that aren't really relocatable. Crap like libmarble ALWAYS
trying to load plugins from the system path, regardless where it is
installed. Of course I have long since disabled Marble plugins in my
version of the library. But I'm sure there will be other libraries trying
to read / load files from system locations. So finding and patching out
those issues will be the major challenge in this little project :-)
