We currently soft-link (dlopen and dlsym) MediaToolbox. This causes unnecessary work (e.g. dlsym can't be optimized away even though both WK and MT are in the shared cache, which causes unnecessary __LINKEDIT pageins). We should switch to weak linking instead.

Oops, incorrect title. Fixed it to be "weak link instead of soft link".
