I guess conceptually "Driver X depending on LibW clashes with Driver Z depending on LibY" cases are less likely to be hit during unit testing, since a particular test-runner/process won't (eventually) be loading the full set of drivers + dependencies? Usually that's a LibW vs LibY problem though, not a GDAL issue. Rob :)
