Run the tests using the code from where scons install puts it rather than 
from the current directory.

There is code in there that sets up LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  I added some printout 
to check things, and it looked good.

Are we making the wrong assumption?  What happens if RPATH and 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH are both active?  Where is that documented?

I just did a quick test.  My screwup case of scons check works if I remove 
the RPATH stuff from ./gpsd.  So my guess is that RPATH takes precedence and 
that's not what we want.

If we are building without chrpath, it sets up RPATH=//usr/local/lib.  I 
think something like that is necessary.
