I also have a Perl solution.
My script[1] is not tied to a distribution at all; it merely scans X
(where X >= 2) directory structures, and where files are identical in the
two structures, it hard links them (and optionally sets immutable and
immutable linkage invert inode attributes, btw thanks for the chattr()
routine).
For this script to work, you'll need to install Pod::Constants and
ReadDir, from my modules collection (http://sam.vilain.net/pm/).
The script is at http://sam.vilain.net/vserver/unify-dirs
You could use it like this:
unify-dirs -vil /vservers/*/usr
unify-dirs -vil /vservers/*/lib
unify-dirs -vil /vservers/*/sbin
unify-dirs -vil /vservers/*/bin

with current vunify now as I'm thinking about placing some defaults
(hard-coded in current vunify.cc) now in /etc/vservers.conf so it's
behaviour sometimes a bit different comparing to old vunify. So, if anyone
thinks anything about it then comments, questions and patches are welcome

have global config file (i.e. /etc/vservers.conf). It can be useful to
share system-wide settings between parts of vserver utilities. The most
important variable is VSERVERS_HOME - the directory, where vservers are
located. I don't want to say, that current standart (/vservers) is bad,
though it can violate FHS on some systems.>
