config.rpath is used by the AM_ICONV and gettext code as I understand it.

In my experience, it is copied when you run 'autopoint' during the
autoconfig process, but apparently not all systems copy this file over.
I think FreeBSD had this problem.

It doesn't change very often, and having a copy doesn't interfere with
the autoconf process, so it is one of those few files that I've added,
even though it can be copied/generated.
