If the runtime was merged in to a library with a known name, we could search for a name in the runtime (if it were the Darwin runtime, objc_msgSend would be a good candidate) in the list of libraries that might have the runtime in them.  Doing a "search for a symbol name in any binary that is added" is expensive, doing "search these three solibs for a symbol if they're loaded" is much less expensive, doing "is a solib with this name loaded" is free.
