I think it is now.  But my guess is on Dragana Radulov's Red Hat
machine it wasn't setting LD_RUN_PATH due to an older version of
MakeMaker.

It compiles because the complier knows about -L, but it doesn't link
because the linker doesn't know to look in /usr/local/lib for
libswish-e.so.

So, by running "LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib make" it would solve the
problem like the current version of MakeMaker does.  I used to run
make that was all the time when installing the perl module in a
non-standard place.

Which prompted my question if I could get Makefile.PL to somehow always
set LD_RUN_PATH regardless of which version of MakeMaker is used.
It's likely not that easy due to all the odd versions of MakeMaker out
there.
