They go into /opt/<packagename>/lib, /opt/<packagename>/include,
etc.

Roger.  I'll accept that.  My idea was simpler but may have led to
problems in the future.

So... On to the next question:

Does AC_CHECK_PROG(), which we use to find Magick-config,
GraphicsMagick-config, and gdal-config, also use one of the
environment variables for its path?  If so our code there can be
made simpler via the same method.  I can go hunt down the macro
later to check if need be.
