--rpath on 1.7.8

[moseley]

I assume this is an automake issue, but I'm also using libtool.

Upon upgrading from 1.7.7 to 1.7.8 I noticed that 

   -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib

is no longer added to the link line.  

On Red Hat 9 /usr/local/lib is not in /etc/ld.so.conf by default.
So RH9 users are now reporting that make check runs but that the program 
fails after installation.

I'm not sure what should happen.  Are the autotools expecting 
/usr/local/lib to be a default search path?
