Excellent -- anticipating future functionality is one of my favourite
hobbies!

That sounds good.  To get this to work, I only had to add an extra use
lib in rt/bin/*.  To make this work for people in general I reckon the
only place needing changing is the Makefile.  A quick test of replacing
the two occurrences of:

  s'!!RT_LIB_PATH!!'$(RT_LIB_PATH)'g;"\

with:

  s'!!RT_LIB_PATH!!'$(RT_PATH)/local/lib\", \"$(RT_LIB_PATH)'g;"\

seems to work for me.  Something using another Makefile variable or two to do
that less hackily wouldn't be too much more work.

I was going to offer to do the above properly and submit a patch to
rt-devel, if you'd like.  But if you've already got a Cunning Plan and
would rather I just waited, then I'll stop interfering ..
