If it could handle a list of packages at once, yes, it would probably
help on other systems such as DU too.  But the main problem with DU is
that -rpath flags override previous -rpath flags, instead of adding to
them.  You must use a single -rpath flag with a colon-separated list
of directories.  And then, there are other systems that require an
environment variable to be set, because there's no -R/-rpath
equivalent.  If only *-config scripts had been designed with these
problems in mind... :-(
