Yeah, I was doing the alternate character for a while. Then Perl came
along and I could not figure out all the places it needed to be
changed. They spray the rpath in more places than just Makefiles, and
they build Makefiles on the fly. I found it's not a simple task to sed
the alternate character back out after, say, configure.
