Yes, as long as the underlying platform supports hard-coding paths
into executables (ELF platforms do) with ld(1) option "-R", it is just
a matter of getting them right. Unfortunately for non-libtool based
libraries and applications (over 50% of the existing ones) this means we
have to fiddle around with Makefiles and more ourself. So, as always: a
solution is possible, but the costs are very high.
