The Locale kit uses liblocalestub.a for similar purposes, avoiding
exposition of this implementation detail in the API. I'd do something
similar to keep the API simpler and clearer, possibly with a way to get
either the "main" (application) dirs or the ones for the caller add-on or
lib, but not more. Allowing to specify any symbol directly opens
cross-add-ons possibilities that may get out of control.
