OK, I set that up.  I guess in retrospect I could have just pulled from
Savannah and pushed to GitHub, but having already set it up as a fork of
your repo I'll leave it that way.

Regarding the original topic of this thread, it turns out that the
"LIBPATH='.'" overrides also break dbus linking on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and
NetBSD, and removing them fixes it.  So I guess the only platform *not*
broken by those is Linux. :-) Between that and the deafening silence
regarding the motivation for "LIBPATH='.'", I'm assuming that taking them
out is appropriate.

I now have all *my* SConstruct patches as tested git commits, though there
are still a couple that I brought forward from 3.14 that need some further
investigation.  I'll submit a pull request on GitHub and then post the
link here (in a new thread).
