Eelco Dolstra 8622548160 Add a setup hook for fixing dylib install names on Darwin
Install names need to be absolute paths, otherwise programs that link
against the dylib won't work without setting $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Most
packages do this correctly, but some (like Boost and ICU) do not.
This setup hook absolutizes all install names.

# On Mac OS X, binaries refer to dynamic library dependencies using
# either relative paths (e.g. "libicudata.dylib", searched relative to
# $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH) or absolute paths
# (e.g. "/nix/store/.../lib/libicudata.dylib"). In Nix, the latter is
# preferred since it allows programs to just work. When linking
# against a library (e.g. "-licudata"), the linker uses the install
# name embedded in the dylib (which can be shown using "otool -D").
# Most packages create dylibs with absolute install names, but some do
# not. This setup hook fixes dylibs by setting their install names to
# their absolute path (using "install_name_tool -id"). It also
# rewrites references in other dylibs to absolute paths.
