But had at least one flaw until last night: if you're building in
"build directories" instead of the source directory, there was a mistake
that would allow an installed shapefil.h to be found and used instead of
using the one in the source directory. I found that  last night because the
other effect was that if you were using build directories and there *was*
no installed shapefil.h, it would fail.

You didn't notice it because you build in the source tree itself, and I 
hadn't noticed it until last night because I'd been building on machines
with shapelib installed.

Anyhow, it's working properly now.
