It's more about handling dynamic loadable modules in MacOS X rather
than Python, but anyway, once you start using isc Python modules
you'll need the LIBRARY_PATH_PLACEHOLDER trick.  I've (re?)added it to
dhcp6/tests/Makefile.am and confirmed the tests now passed.  It should
also fix the buildbot error.
