Normally libtool's generated wrapper script causes the uninstalled 
library to be used.  If this is not the case, then there is a bug.

If the system supports LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then it should be used via the 
wrapper script.  Otherwise the libraries and dependent programs need 
to be re-linked during the install phase, which is slow and clunky, 
and might even fail.  The method used is part of libtool's own 
configuration mechanism, and I don't think that you can alter it 
without modifying libtool itself.

Use './libtool --config' to see all of the configuration options that 
libtool selected for your system.  Short descriptions are included.
