As discussed in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/golang-nuts/xRjXJ2RfIHk/discussion,
when building code with swig dependencies, the emitted shared library is discarded if go
is run in build mode rather than install.

This means that it's not possible to test the executable before releasing it into the
pkg path.

A more useful option would be to land the DSO in the same directory as the executable
target and leave users to specify an appropriate ld.so search path.

Alternatively, statically linking in the swig deps would obviate the problem.

The attached code trivially demonstrates the issue.
