Great, we agree on how it ought to work.

I have been turning on verbose build options and have found the link
line for the tests.  It carries through the -R/usr/pkg/lib line from the
build environment and there doesn't appear to be any mechanism to force
the not-installed libs.

I need to look into this further, but so far I haven't found a mechanism
that arranges for the correct libs to be used.  I've asked NetBSD cmake
people if they understand the grand plan how this is supposed to work.


(On the pthread front, I think I was confused, so let's assume it's not
an issue and I'll speak up again if it is.)
