The only reason I can think of is that someone might want to run make
RANLIB=/path/to/ranlib and except RANLIB_TEST to reflect the change.
But I wouldn't worry too much about it. Presumably, we should have
RANLIB looked for are SUBSTed in the Makefile by configure, just like
the rest of the world does.
DJ (and anybody else), does this match your opinion?
