+Fix the way libtool is used to match standard practice:
+
+a) link ONLY libraries using -rpath $(libdir), not executables
+   .. this avoids adding an RPATH for $libdir to executables
+b) link non-installable test binaries using -no-install
+   .. only for convenience but should speed up builds slightly(?)
