Okay, here's what's happening ... configure is creating and trying to
compile this program:

int main()
{       shout_init_connection();
        return 0;
}

with the only additional argument being "-lshout".  So, again, make sure
that "libshout.a" lives somewhere in the default library directories
(/usr/lib is safe).  This is not related to /etc/ld.so.conf, which looks
for libfoo.so files (hence, ld.so).  ld (the gcc linker) looks for
libfoo.a files, as specified by some other obtuse file called
'gcc-specs' or so.

If you can get this code to compile by typing "gcc file.c -lshout"
configure will be able to detect the shoutcast libraries.  What really
needs to happen, though, is that the autoconf generator script (of which
I know nothing about) needs to be written to include a
"--with-libshout=/path" directive.

Given that my other patch hasn't been commited to CVS yet, I'm in no
rush to look into it.
