Works like a charm, thanks!  This seems like a nice application to
document.  Now that I know what to search for ("rpath"), I do see hints in
the Automake and Libtool manuals about passing -rpath explicitly for
EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES.  There seem to be warnings NOT to pass -rpath for
noinst-convenience libraries, however this seems like a reasonable
rationale for passing -rpath.
