Ahh, OK. I was just looking around at what is recommended in this
situation and I didn't know what was up. I think it would be best to
just leave this out, as it is tied to this one library and doesn't
seem like something that many people are going to have to worry about.
Those that do can just use the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS override.
