ExtUtils::MakeMaker previously dropped any rpath argument that isn't an existing directory. This is too restrictive because:

  • the directory could be created after the Makefile is generated
  • rpaths can be the variables $ORIGIN on Linux or @rpath, @loader_path, or @executable_path on Mac

Also, do a Makefile escape of any single '$' in the rpath value ($ -> $$). Since the rpath value may also be consumed in a test in Makefile.PL where it doesn't need to be escaped, it's inconvenient to unescape it there.

See #439
