Picking up from a discussion several months back, the build now uses the
-rpath option (or -Wl,-R or whatever yours uses) to store the location of
the shared libraries into the executables and the shared libraries
themselves. That means that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/ld.so.conf thing should
no longer be necessary.
When making a binary package you might not want to use this. Use
"configure --disable-rpath" to disable it.
Doesn't work on all platforms, though. (OTOH, if you're using hpux,
osf/cc, or irix5 then this is old news for you, but now it's a feature
across the board.)
