The scons CI setup does something like this, although I'm not convinced
it's quite right any longer... see the file .travis/setup.sh

Not convinced it's right because recent Ubuntu pkgs already make
symlinks in the right place, and the if-else test doesn't seem to allow
for that case.  Anyway...

this is an unfortunate chase that goes on and on as people put things in
different places under slightly different names...
