[PATCH] Update RPATH to make loading libjawt possible

[Anthony Petrov]

I see your point. As I told you we'll be open-sourcing a JAWT-specific 
test under 7190587. This test already provides support for Linux, 
Solaris, and Windows platforms, and even does a little more than just 
loads the jawt library.

So it looks there's still some value in Kumar's test as well. Yes, it 
will need to be rewritten should we replace the RPATH mechanism with 
something else in the future. It's up to Kumar to decide whether he 
wants such test to be present in the repo. Personally, I don't mind.
