The variables determined by config.rpath are a subset of those
determined by libtool.m4. Therefore config.rpath should be updated
according to modifications made in official libtool releases. (But it
doesn't hurt verifying the settings using the rpathcfg.sh script.)

And on the other hand, I wish the libtool guys would go back to
ltconfig.sh so that it would be easier to upgrade the libtool support
in some older package, when porting to a new platform.

Yes, there are certainly people who don't want to use gettextize and
instead do everything by hand, at their own risks. For them it is
useful to have the *.m4 files in a canonical location.
