While there's no specifically documented requirement, there is a common
sense one.  Libtool doesn't make any attempt to normalise the paths
given to it, in fact it's kinda a tricky issue ... for example:

If you used -rpath /usr/mylib and that was a symlink to /usr/lib, would
you expect that to be RPATHd or not?


I'm tempted to actually leave non-normalisation in as a "cute hack" to
force a /usr/lib rpath when you really want one.
