Indeed, by adding '-Wl,-rpath=<library_path>' to the LFLAGS in jcc/setup.py
one does not need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all anymore. Not at build time, 
not at runtime.

I just tested this on Ubuntu Gutsy with Sun Java 6. Below is my LFLAGS dict:

LFLAGS = {
      'darwin': ['-framework', 'JavaVM'],
      'linux2': ['-L/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386', '-ljava',
                 '-Wl,-rpath=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/client'],
      'win32': ['/LIBPATH:o:/Java/jdk1.6.0_02/lib', 'jvm.lib']
}

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm going to update the docs as well.
