 Here's a simplistic implementation. Hopefully it's adequate.

+I talked about this with duncan in the office. It isn't really as
+simple as it seems here. There are a few problems:
+
+1) Sometimes we want to use a dllmap but we also want to have the
+package be noarch. This is a problem on 64 bit platforms because you
+need to append (64bit) to the .so name. The solution is to depend on a
+package (eg mozilla) rather than a .so.
+
+2) We'd need to detect 64 bit systems and add that
+
+3) We should also catch the case where there is no dllmap
+
+We agreed that it's not worth it and that people will need to manually
+add the deps.
