Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When running a multi-node application that uses Infiniband networking, the user is currently responsible for making sure that required libraries are present in the container, or bound in from the host. This requires knowledge of libraries that is below the application level, and not commonly needed outside of a container, as an HPC admin will have made the libraries available by default.

Describe the solution you'd like
We should be able to discover the required libraries on the host, for automatic bind-in when the container distribution is compatible.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Documentation improvements could assist, but library paths vary between systems, so it is difficult to give a simple example that will almost always work.
