Ok, tested now on Linux, and my patch seems to work (mostly).  
Of the 8 binaries that get installed, five, namely

    parrot   parrot_debugger   pbc_info   pbc_merge   pdump

get installed with the correct (installed) rpath to libparrot.so,
and three,

    pbc_to_exe   parrot_config   pbc_disassemble

get installed with the incorrect (build path) rpath.  I haven't yet
figured out why.  Still, the one most likely to be used (namely
parrot) at least will work with this patch, so I think it's the right
way forward.
