Re: $ORIGIN in RPATH suppression

suppressing this?  Pretty, please?

There have been many reasons explained many times previously on the list (we don't support relocatable packages, $ORIGIN introduces security and reliability concerns, etc), but if you want at least a couple of hard reasons why as well, then it would break both check-shlibs and REQUIRES,
as well as wiz' new pkg_add checks.

I'd recommend just building bootstraps outside of a pkgsrc environment if it's a problem for you that you can't resolve, or patch your cwrappers locally to not remove them.
