Good point.

However, a rename is definitely needed.  Whatever scheme we apply, we
should do it on branch-2-0 and HEAD -- porting code between branch-1-5
and {branch-2-0, HEAD} is something that shouldn't be done in general,
so as long as all released versions and the HEAD of all active branches
use a matching scheme, it ought not come back to bite us.

Yuck.  Looking through ltmain.m4sh I've found rpath, temp_rpath, perm_rpath,
compile_rpath, finalize_rpath, xrpath, temp_xrpath... OMG!

What about temp_rpath->runpath, and choosing an rpath mapping per use
case?

FYI: I plan to write an m4sh macro that will allow us to emulate local
vars in shell functions for HEAD at some point, so things will become
less hairy when we decompose ltmain.m4sh some more.

Cheers,
        Gary.
