Comment (by mikerobinson):

 I had a feeling that libtool would pick it up on its own. However, I don't
 see why you would have to check for the current path at most steps. You
 could just do it once near the beginning and if it contains any invalid
 characters, fail with a sensible error message. Once you get past that
 step, everything else the install script uses to compile it should all
 have correct paths. The one that will be "incorrect" almost 100% of the
 time I would think would be the current working directory. I don't think
 that something like this would be overly difficult to implement - no more
 than a handful of lines of code.
