does this mean the library ends up with rpath /usr/lib in it? uggh..
this is bad as it stops someone putting a newer version in /usr/local
of a library that library depends on etc...

RH used to have SDL linked with -rpath and it took me hours to track
down why my apps wouldn't use a newer version of the library...
