OK. But I think that maybe a better solution is just to use the parameters
you passed to configure as a suggestion: if it can't find the library
where suggested, just revert to the automatic search.
I know that "compatibility" with the lovely old potato is not a clue,
but if it is so cheap I would like to have it. Specially because almost
any other ocaml-package compiles well on potato.
