This is clearly more flexible (and clearly a PITA), and I had to do this
with openssl for NTP for some platforms where, for reason I no longer
remember, the "prefix" was *not* the same for lib and include.

These days I am happy to look for pkg-config files first, and if they
fail either recommend that somebody create the .pc file or fall back to
the old style (which is either --foo-lives-in=... or --foo-incs=... and
--foo-libs=...).
