The use-case I had in mind was an environment that caught the error and offered a useful action, e.g. "install the library via apt/homebrew/macports/etc and continue".

OK, and so you'd like to get a hold of "/maybe/some/path/to/libfoo.so.x" or whatever. Hmm, so maybe in try-foreign-library-alternatives we could store the first alternative since that should usually be something like "libfoo.so.x".

What do you think Stelian? (Also, did I miss any other improvements introduced by this patch?)
