So I see your point Tom...  Is there a way we can use
AC_CHECK_HEADERS() and AC_CHECK_LIB() against non-standard
locations?  My Autoconf/automake/libtool book doesn't go into much
detail on things like this.  Maybe the only way to know for sure is
to go look at the code for the m4 macros themselves?

If we could set up some paths before we called the m4 macros it
might simplify a lot of our configure code.
