It is exactly the insertion of CPPFLAGS I would like to circumvent.
Personally, I regard the selection of options as flawed whenever
I need to resort to the CPPFLAGS trickery.

Could a reformulation with AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS achieve the following,
simplified use case set? My present implementation does not!

  * Library and header file in system path:

    ./configure --with-idn

  * Library and header use common base directory, outside
    of system path (remove need for extra --with-idn):

    ./configure --with-libidn-prefix=/usr/pkg

  * Header file in private directory, library in system path:

    ./configure --with-idn=/usr/include/idn

  * Header file tucked away, library not detectable by system:

    ./configure --with-idn=/usr/local/idn --with-libidn-prefix=/usr/local

In case you can achieve this, I would very much like to see that
you commit it to our repository.
