These tools are used, for example, by Nix [1] and conda-forge [2].

I've used only one small part of this package so far: in [3], I use
`install_name_tool` somewhat like `patchelf` in the process of building the
libgit2 shared library using Guix for distribution as a Racket package. (I
plan to write up for the mailing list what worked well with that approach and
what maybe could work better.)
