It won't make any difference if the CGI program executable
does not have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set -- in fact it will hurt because
Interchange will overwrite what its normal LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is with the presumably differnet one of the vlink/tlink 
program.

The key is to do an "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=whatever" before
starting interchange.

If you want to guarantee it, edit the first lines of bin/interchange
as is shown for PGPPATH, etc. Ugly, but it works.
