It won't look recursively, no, because it'd have no way to know
intelligently if an app needs the new or old version, and as such
doing so would probably break the apps that want newer revs of the
libs. The only way to get the effect you want without repacking is by
invoking the app with: LIBRARY_PATH=/boot/home/config/lib/legacy/
/path/to/app (assuming that's where you've dumped said libs)
