Whatever can be found out automatically should be done so, for example by
searching for header files etc (this gives you the install prefix of a
library).
If something is outside the default search path, or reasonable defaults
can not be evaluated, the configure script should provide an option
(--with-XXX, --enable-XXX), and bail out with an error message if this
option is not provided.
There is plenty of example code to pick from how to do this.
