   Larry,
   
   You probably have /usr/local/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  On my system 
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH defaults to /usr/X/lib:/lib and LD_RUN_PATH are not set, and I 
   prefer it that way.  The rpath related changes allow me to specify the 
   additional library search paths by using the configure --with-libraries option 
   and have those paths placed into the executable so that the executables can 
   run without having to the default setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
   
   After reading the discussions, I can think of another enhancement to the rpath 
   changes:  have the contents of LD_LIBRARY_PATH added to the -R (or -rpath) 
   option inside the port specific makefile.  That way, if you add the additional 
   search paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH you won't have to use the --with-libraries and 
   the executable(s) will have the runtime search paths in them so they will 
   execute without having to change the default LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting.

   Billy, so your rpath changes are for handling customization you made to
   your OS.  Sounds like a feature addition to me, which will go into 7.4
   only.
