Not really -- let's teke the Apache example: mod_guile won't be the only
module to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH, there's mod_perl and mod_python and
mod_haskell ... Oh, and if you start to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within
Apache, any app forking of the server will run with that modified path
as well (any CGI script, any interpreter started by that script etc.).
Definitely _not_ fun to debug.
