I appreciate this is a non-trivial issue/problem, hopefully my attempt
at humour has not implied I believe otherwise.

My thinking is that if the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has been set then the
build should be able to add this with '/lib' as the rpath into the
final link of ldc2 and ldmd2. Moreover, ldc2 and ldmd2 themselves could
add this as an rpath in the link of any created executables.

However my CMake and ld skills are not great, so this may be "pie in
the sky".
