I'm not a Mac expert, but libtool seems to think OS X uses
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH rather than LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Does "make check" work in the java subdirectory of the built source
tree?

When you say "essentially", was that the only change?  If so, we should
be able to do that automatically for OS X.  And similarly for the
installation location and different library extension.
