I have been testing this. ECL uses rpath to hardcode the location of the
shared library. Even if we make the symlinks, the shared library loader is
_always_ going to look in the hardcoded locations and not respect your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. After all, this is the whole point of rpath, isn't it?

See below how ldd resolves the library references to the hardcoded path and
not to the current directory, even if there is a libecl.so.11.1 there.
