Wishlist items...?
* A rpath- or runpath-like approach, where the paths are relative to one of
the default search directories.
* Embedding of relative pathnames in the library, e.g. instead of setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/foo (or similarly for rpath) for a binary which
requires libbar.so from that directory, have it linked to foo/libbar.so.
Both would require changes to ld and ld-linux.so; both are relocatable, but
the latter gets around problems should it happen that both libfoo.so and
bar/libfoo.so exist and are both needed by the program (but it needs a "link
as" option).
I don't really expect them to happen, though; still, I now have a patch (bug
154611) to allow chrpath to convert rpath->runpath and to handle both...

Whatever you want to do, you have to do something else first.
