+    Filter ELF dependencies by name
+    
+    - Instead of vain heuristics on DT_SONAME presence, filter out
+      irregular sonames from all dependencies: linkable library names generally
+      must contain ".so" and start with "lib" for the linker to find it at all,
+      anything else is an exception of one kind or another (the prime exception
+      of ld.so variants we handle here). This weeds out provides for most
+      dlopen()'ed modules etc, and filtering both provides and requires
+      by the same rules means we wont generate requires for things that wont be
+      provided.  Of course this also means we can omit things that are in
+      DT_NEEDED, but these should be rare exceptions which the new
+      --no-filter-soname switch is for.
