I did look into the rpath option, which basically lets you append a string
onto the library search path. It looked very promising, but it requires an
absolute path, and I couldn't figure out way to set a path at compile
time that would work on any end-user machine. I thought about making
a symlink in system space back to my application directory, but I
couldn't come up with a good place to put the link.
