* Support DT_RUNPATH (in fact, prefer DT_RUNPATH over DT_RPATH unless
--force-rpath is set).

Currently setting the RPATH on libraries ("--set-rpath") will usually
fail if the new RPATH is longer then the old RPATH.
+The `strip' command from binutils generated broken executables when
+applied to the output of patchelf (if `--set-rpath' or
+`--set-interpreter' with a larger path than the original is used).
+This appears to be a bug in binutils
+(http://bugs.strategoxt.org/browse/NIXPKGS-85).

RELEASE HISTORY
+0.4 (TBA):
+
+* IA-64 support (not tested) and related 64-bit fixes.
+
+* FreeBSD support.
+
+* `--set-rpath', `--shrink-rpath' and `--print-rpath' now prefer
+ DT_RUNPATH over DT_RPATH, which is obsolete. When updating, if both
+ are present, both are updated. If only DT_RPATH is present, it is
+ converted to DT_RUNPATH unless `--force-rpath' is specified. If
+ neither is present, a DT_RUNPATH is added unless `--force-rpath' is
+ specified, in which case a DT_RPATH is added.
+
0.3 (May 24, 2007):
* Support for 64-bit ELF binaries (such as on x86_64-linux).
