needs to be fixed before release ...
many things seem to be at problem here:
1. the "look for backend in multiple directories" seems to be broken. hence it doesnt even find the backend after a make instal
2. ntrack.c module loading code assumes quite static directory structures to look for backends.
3. ntrack.c module loading code has no way to find the cmdline used to run the script. Hence, it has no way to guess the $builddir directory of the run binary if its != cwd
4. the mtest-gmonitor.py is not even copied to $builddir hierarchy ... hence even a well implemented mechanism that would expect the source copy to be available in the $builddir would fail.
... lets see how robust i can make this while allowing executation from the $builddir and the $installdir
