Have you considered writing an autoconf macro to implement this? I imagine that
would lower the
barrier to adoption of this feature. I believe libtool may do the rpath stuff,
but it's the least
commonly used of the autotools; having a simple encaspulation of the
portability knowledge
for use in any autoconf script would be nice.
