linking to a library within destroot directory

[Jann Röder]

I think -install_name is mac OS X / darwin specific. I think on Linux
and the like, the install location of the libraries isn't coded into the
apllications that link against them. And for macports you need to use
reinplace anyway to insert the correct library path...
