Well, there is no method to encode @executable_path or @loader_path in 
the library install_name either. I always figured that people would just 
build as normal and then postprocess using install_name_tool(1) if they 
needed to.

Why should libtool treat the Mac OS X @rpath differently to the other 
two special paths?
