That's exactly what I meant.

This is good news.

Alexander, I suggest that we default to install-dir-RPATH (or RUNPATH if 
available) by default. At least I always install the stuff before I attempt 
to run it. Are there kde developers who run apps from the builddir?

For kdevelop-created projects, we could enable relinking to make it runnable 
from builddir.
