The osx install name is the path where the dynamic library says it is going to be placed and where other libraries linked against it will look at runtime.

I can't see any reason why you would not want the full path of the install name specified (although libmapnik.dylib will be able to be loaded without an install name path as long as it is in a standard location).

Therefore, I recommend we make it an option, True by default, in Scons to embed the full path for libmapnik.dylib during the Scons build.
