Thanks much! I'll correct (1) and (2). About (3), I use AC_CHECK_LIB to
search for the same lib in different dirs; is there a macro that does it
for me? Is there a standard way to specify a custom path (I was going to
use --with-mylib=/opt/mypkg/lib, but seems this isn't the intended way
of using it)?

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
