Last I checked, all of them that include -L arguments. _None_ of them set 
rpath. I just grep'd for '-L' in the pkgconfig dirs and used a simple perl 
script to modify them. That was a while ago, though - it was so much work I 
just changed my build env to set LD_RUN_PATH, which (on Solaris) Just Works.

But then I'm a firm believer that $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is Evil.
