I found the source of the problem, or at least one step further.
$libpddir is set to $prefix.  $prefix is empty on Windows and Mac OS X.
Somehow, libtool wants to do "-rpath $libpddir", so it ends up as
"-rpath ".  Windows DLLs don't need the rpath since they are
relocatable.  

Still looking for how to solve this tho...
