I think using a varargs of library names does not adhere with my (obviously subjective) API bar.

If you have a library that has name X in one system and name Y in a different system, it seems to me that you should
have a constant that is initialized with the right name depending on the system and then load that. Passing a list of
all possible alternatives, while doable, seems an odd way to get there.
