Or compile small utility patchelf and adjust the run-time search path 
with --set-rpath to your liking. One way is to keep .so-s in the same 
directory as the executable and set the rpath to '$ORIGIN', so that the 
binary and .so-s could be copied together to arbitrary location.

This would be most optimal of course.
