I was wondering if you could perhaps put the relevant parts of your 
expression at the Nix wiki with a short explanation about what you 
learned about rpath?

I would for example not know when I would need to apply things like 
patchelf, and apparently it would be good to know about it. There might 
be some explanation in the Nix(pkgs) manual, but you know the problem 
with manuals...
