Cool!  LGTM.

Apologies if this was already mentioned, but why don’t
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=TRUE and
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH=$out/lib (in cmake-build-system.scm) lead to
binaries with a RUNPATH?  As Eric said, this should produce binaries
with an appropriate RUNPATH, no?  Or does it only take care of setting
the RUNPATH to $out/lib?

To me, passing -Wl,-rpath would be a workaround for a package-specific
defect.  The ideal solution would be to have cmake-build-system DTRT.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
