 It's a makefile variable, and make substitutes it.  For example, xfrin
 tests will go as follows:
 {{{
 % make check
 make  check-local
 for pytest in xfrin_test.py ; do \
         echo Running test: $pytest ; \
         env
 PYTHONPATH=/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/lib/dns/python/.libs:/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/bin/xfrin:/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/lib/python:/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/lib/python
 \
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/lib/dns/.libs:/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/lib/exceptions/.libs:/Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/lib/xfr/.libs:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
 \
         /opt/local/bin/python3.1
 /Users/jinmei/src/isc/bind10/branches/trac313/src/bin/xfrin/tests/$pytest
 ; \
         done
 Running test: xfrin_test.py
 ...
 }}}

 that is, make replaces the placeholder B10_LIBRARY_PATH with
 "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=...".  No other programs don't have to care about it.

 I don't know if I need to tweak the branch due to this, but rename it to
 LIBRARY_PATH_PLACEHOLDER in case it's less confusing (r2779).  Does this
 explnation and/or r2779 address your concern?
