Then what about a configuration that has each library on its own file.
For example

/etc/pkcs11/libs/myotherlib
contains:

library=/usr/lib/pkcs11/lib.so
enabled=true

and other files defining other libraries such...
/etc/pkcs11/libs/mylib

~/.pkcs11.conf if exists will overwrite all of the above
configurations (Not update, since if it only updates
the default configuration, there is no way for a user
to force a specific configuration that will not change
if a system upgrades and new pkcs11 libraries are
installed).
