But is not portable.  Systems which automatically remember shared 
library dependencies may cause problems since the installed module is 
referencing libraries which no longer exist or have been moved. 
Sometimes libtool must re-link shared libraries at install time so the 
library dependencies of the installed library are different than the 
uninstalled one in .libs.
