When libtool is executed, it computes two paths to the directory 
containing the .la file.  The relative path from where `make' is 
executing is stored in $dir (e.g. magick/.libs) while the full path is 
stored in $absdir (e.g.
/scratch/bfriesen/build/GraphicsMagick-8-modules/magick/.libs).  Using 
the absolute path to local directories seems like the easiest fix.  Is 
there any reason to not use the absolute path?
