Description

The Perl bindings have the build directory hard-coded into them instead of the subversion installation 
dir, which cases them not to find the libs when they are run. (This happens in particular when the 
installation directory is not in the default library search path.)

This is caused in Makefile.PL(.in): I'm not familiar at all with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but as far as I can see, 
every -L item passed to $config{LIBS} seem to be put into LD_RUN_PATH.

The problem is twofold:
1) add the installation directory ($prefix/lib etc) to the rpath, and
2) remove the build dirs from the rpath.

In order to run the perl modules before the libraries they use have been installed, some dynamic means 
(such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH) could be used.
