This means if I want to be able to run unit tests, my "make install" will
be slow as hell? This doesn't sound good :(

Unit tests are programs which -always- run from the build tree (and only from there).
Maybe we need a way to flag "those programs should have builddir-rpaths"
even when the above option is set?
