Is it possible to assess how often there are libraries that are not
likely to be linked against?

I'm asking, because I'm thinking that it might be a good candidate for
an automated check.  It would go something like this:

- if it's a binary, it's OK if it links against Sun X11
- if it's a library which links against Sun X11, throw an error (which
may of course be overridden)
