Actually it's downright dangerous (well, it can be with -L/usr/lib on
some systems).

Unfortunately AC_CHECK_LIBS makes it painful to look through several
directories for the library.
I'm quite prepared to drop this search and require the user to do it, if
you agree then I can make a patch with AC_CHECK_LIB, otherwise I'll punt
on this.
Unfortunately our --with-extra-lib cannot take multiple dirs either.
Did I tell anyone how much I hate maintaining autoconf code ?
