I am not a big supporter of relative run paths, because they can
be forgotten and can cause security issues on a variety of OS's
whose dynamic linker does not perform the appropriate tests. I
would have hoped that libtool could achieve the same effect by
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_RUN_PATH. Anyway perhaps a later version
might work better, so we should switch to that first before making
any changes.
