Why don't the NX 3.5.0 components use the -rpath linker directive to find the NX libraries?

Using rpath has huge drawbacks, including security implications. With NoMachine's nxserver and nxclient there is no need to do that, as both subsystems set the paths before running the other components. This makes it possible to run different versions of the executables and libraries based on the administrator's settings.
