It is true, indeed. If I link with `glib-config --libs`, still the lib path
must be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the program to be able to run. This can be
fixed by using the -R or -rpath option. The -R option would be to prefer,
because it works for both gnu ld and sun ld. Both sun ld and gnu ld are
working with AND withour spaces after -R here on my platform though.
