Isn't the standard with automake-built projects is to let the user run 
ldconfig by himself? The installation instructions for ust mention the 
need to run ldconfig after installation, and in my mind, making the 
install script run ldconfig on the user's system is taking too much 
liberty and too surprising. I'll be convinced otherwise if you can 
provide examples of notable projects that do so.

Thanks.
