Replace the configure-time
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/libinstall RPATH with paths relative to each installed artifact, so the installed tree is relocatable and works whether the prefix is provided at configure time (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=...) or at install time (cmake --install <build-dir> --prefix <dir>).Fixes #279.
Testing
I have only tested this on a Linux system. This leaves the Apple path untested. The Windows/other path is just the previous behavior.
