This is the same problem as the one I mentioned a few weeks ago, how he
automated tests are using the installed modules.

One way to avoid this problem would be to keep the module mechanism (for
3rd party modules), but link the liblicense-supplied modules into
liblicense.so

If that's too radical, some kind of LIBLICENSE_MODULE_PATH environment
variable is clearly necessary, so that the automated tests can set it
and be guaranteed to be testing the modules built in the local checkout,
and not the installed modules.

Or maybe both.
