If the library isn't installed yet, you'll *have* to specify its
runtime path, so the right thing to do is to not guess library path if
the user specifies it himself. However, for libraries that are
implicitly linked in by the compiler, it is reasonable that the
compiler provides the shared library runtime path itself.
