I think these can be cleaned up with install_name_tool.  (See the man  
page)  In the next iteration, I may try and add it to the build process.

The BLT author/maintainer does great work but it his personal project  
and he does not respond to email.  In recent weeks he has been  
committing a lot of changes to the cvs on Sourceforge.  So perhaps  
the 3.0 release is near.  However, the current cvs code will not  
build because the is a file missing (src/bltPaintDraw.c).  So it is  
not possible to test the rest.

Another few weeks and I will probably try a Tiger only build with  
BLT2.4z
