Sorry for the delay.

It seems that the best way would be either for configure to figure out
the name of the library itself from the directory or for the user to
give the name of the library as a configure option.

Figuring out the name might be difficult and error prone, so using
another option for configure might be best.

I will apply the other parts of your patch, though.  That's useful.

Thanks,
