    This option facilitates testing shared libarary builds: for instance
    fate builders do no longer need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the binaries will
    get the right search paths hardcoded into their executable file.
    
    This option is only meant to be used for testing purposes: The installed
    libraries must not move around in the file system, and doing so will
    cause a lot of subtle problems. For more information why using RPATH is
    dangerous, please refer to
