Hmm, I missed that one completely. It's probably too late for me to jump 
in but I just don't see how the approach you outlined in

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2007-June/012740.html

deals with systems which don't *have* an rpath and with users who 
manually set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. To be entirely honest, I suspect that what 
you are trying to achieve can't be done portably and reliably.
