gobject-introspection typelibs and shared libraries

Hi,

currently the typelib files used by gobject-introspection can't find
shared libraries and require setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  I would like to
propose to adopt the attached patch from the nix folk which should fix
that and refer to shared libraries by absolute path.

Regards,
Fede
