I urge you not to do that, this is unsuitable for distributions in a
number of ways.

- RPM does not handle this kind of dependencies.

- Applications must only dlopen stuff they have control of, like..the X
server loading its drivers, PHP loading its modules, apache loading
mod_ssl.. etc.. dlopening system libraries like libsystemd-whatever is a
no-no.. applications that do this constantly break, are a pain in the
ass to maintain. I have been fighting with this madness for years.
