Note that this setup is problematic on multilib arches.  Since the
dat.conf file hard codes a library path that's different for 32bit/64bit
arches, installing both a 32bit and 64bit dapl library is impossible
without munging things.

For RHEL4U5/RHEL5 I changed the dat library to read dat<bits>.conf and
have two separate conf files.  A probably better approach would be to
change the library to use a relative library name that it looks for
starting from the libraries own directory.  Hence if the dapl library is
in /usr/lib, it looks in /usr/lib.  Doing that would allow the
32bit/64bit libraries to share the same config file.
