this is what the original one does:
[ ==> Begin Code <== ]
perl -i -plne '
    if (/^dependency_libs/) {
        s# -[ILR]\s*/tmp\S+##g;
        s# -[ILR]\s*/\S+/ # #g;
    }
    ' $@
[ ==> End Code <== ]

I don't find any reference to it in the gar/v2 files.

I have to defer to the other maintainers if anyone still uses this script.
and what they use it for.

Thanks,
Mike
