Changing Search Paths for Headers and LIbs

[Simon Ching]

Hello,

I wonder if it's possible to change the search
paths for headers and libs like in the macros
AC_CHECK_LIB or AC_CHECK_HEADER or alike?

The problem is, sometimes a required library
package of a project is not installed in those
"usual" places,  (e.g. at your home dir or even
/tmp) but runing the AC_CHECK_* would probably
fail the test even you know where it is.

I reckon this to be some basic functionality.
Software as mighty as autoconf should not have
left this out! :) But I couldn't find it in
the documentation.  Any can help? Thanks...

Cheers,
      Simon.
