I don't remember exactly. How did you stumble over this now?

That's almost 10 years old ;) There's no need for manual rpath handling if you use autotools (autoconf+automake and probably libtools) as your build system. Probably with cmake, too. From my point of view it's best to use pkg-config and get rid of the *-config scripts.
