There are two approaches: have solib_open() test for a local/remote
target; or, add methods to the target vector that allow solib_open() to
be written independant of the target.
Adding a local/remote test is going to be easier. Having the code
written local/remote independant might be better long term (but runs the
risk of making things unnecessarily complex).
