The flags are not needed once the package is built and installed,
right? So I don't think PKG_ADD is relevant at all. I haven't been
following this thread too closely, but it sounds like all that is
needed is an improved configure.ac to search for the necessary header
files and libraries in the most common locations. Things like
pkg-config help greatly, if eigen and dolfin provide pkg-config files.
