You need a library with a relative install_name. There's an 
install_name_tool that lets you fiddle with it. The name should locate the 
framework relative to the application executable, e.g. 
"@executable_path/../Frameworks". Dyld replaces the "@executable_path" 
part with the actual path at runtime.
