The only problem I see here is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is something that
may be called DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or SHLIBS_PATH on different platforms.
Additionally, it should be unset in normal use, as it is considered
harmful.  JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH feels better for this reason, and can be
safely injected in the environment, if neccesary.

Just my 2 cents.
