It opens the one that corresponds to what the embedding application wants, and that could even be one the user had installed in his $HOME... it so much doesn't depend on the libxul that the current xpcomglue in unstable (libxul0d provides one, already) can happily load libxul 1.9...

Or something like that. Why not set the shlibs on the standalone dynamic library that does the dlopen to include a dependency on the version of the library it dlopens? Or something like that.
