This links executable against libraries inside the build tree instead of 
installed libraries by default. It relinks the executable properly at "make 
install". Until now it was the opposte: .libs/vlc was linked against the 
installed libraries, and .libs/lt-vlc was linked against the local tree when 
you first ran it from the tree.

You can go further by adding "no-install" to vlc_LDFLAGS in Makefile.am. 
Then "./vlc" can be used directly with valgrind, gdb friends instead of the 
akward "libtool --mode=execute valgrind ./vlc". But then it becomes 
impossible to install VLC completely (it links to libvlc.so in the build tree 
instead of $(prefix)/lib).
