I guess this is because /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib links against several
libraries now. Do we really need to "blacklist" any of the names used in
/usr/lib/system/*.dylib?

On the other hand, the load commands always refer to the install name
with the full path, so I still don't get why it picks up the wrong
libnotify at all...
