Running valgrind on src/.libs/testsd or src/.libs/lt-testsd works in
some cases, but not others.

It's more reliable to use:

libtool --mode=execute valgrind src/testsd

This lets libtool take care of any messing around with environmental
variables and the like that is required to get the program to run
before it has been installed.

The only wrinkle is that --mode=execute seems to have problems with
passing arguments to valgrind or the program in libtool 1.4.2 (you can
set VALGRIND_OPTS to pass options to valgrind).  I've had no such
problems with libtool 1.5.
