Actually, it looks like this:
  LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1
then executing the app might do a full trace back though dependencies 
for you.

Strace is awfully handy for determining what a program is accessing - 
trace it's initialisation with

strace -e trace=file 2>/tmp/filetrace programname

and you can find all the config files that it and any libs it opens are 
using.
