No, it is not. We don't want rpath because we want our libraries to be
"relocatable" file-system wise. So, there are absolutely no exceptions.
Plugins are another matter: since they do not need to be relocatable
file-system wise, we accept rpath there (but it IS much better to just use
the damn full path in dlopen() ).
If upstream uses a poor naming scheme for their shared libs, and those libs
won't be ever used by anything else than the same set of programs, prefix
them with the package name, or something like that.
