> LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not known about by many

The install.sh script now recommends adding an entry to this variable
if it detects that this is necessary, so it's not *entirely* unknown.
This doesn't help, however, if it's considered a bad practice.

For plugins to work, we're required to link libstd and friends
dynamically to rustc, so sadly we're require to link rustc itself
dynamically.

I do not believe that this is this case for linux or OSX, only for windows.
