Our cmake-build-system sets CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=True,
which will add the directory of a library given during link time to the
executable or library's rpath.  As was noted before, this is not helpful
if the package does not put those libraries in the link line.

It also sets CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH to the "lib" directory of the package
output.  I'd imagine this would help with libraries finding libraries
from the same package, but perhaps not.
