Why in the world would you want that? (Honest question!)
Wouldn't it be enough if you used $(libdir), and told your users
that if they want to shoot themselves mildly in the foot, they could
still use
./configure --bindir=/some/where/bin --libdir=/some/where/bin/lib
?
I mean, this convention goes against all I've ever seen on a *nix
system. If instead you are out to get things working on w32 systems,
then be encouraged to use Libtool, read about -no-undefined, and don't
mess with libdir at all.
Slightly confused,
Ralf
