Oops, I thought we got rid of all instances of that "-rpath $(VPATH)" thing.
Right -- a gentlecontributor committed the some changes to this effect, but
against Makefile.in and not Makefile.am, lcd/testsuite and mapper/testsuite.

Still, $(pkglibdir) doesn't look right -- these libraries are not meant to
be installed at all.  How could we express "-rpath `pwd`"?

: It is configured to compile in the source directory!  

This part is something we usually avoid doing.  Even if you try it,
please use absolute paths throughout (i.e., "`pwd`/configure" rather
than "./configure".)

With respect to this part, a quick grep shows that these files aren't
actually used at all.  How about removing the "all-local" target
altogether?
