preprocessor to look in the `/foo/myinclude' directory for header
files (in addition to the standard directories), instruct the linker
to look in `/bar/mylib' for libraries, pass the -O3 optimization
switch to the compiler, and link against libfoo.a and libbar.a
libraries in addition to the standard ones.

The work of `configure' can be done by editing various files in the
distribution, but using `configure' is easier.  See the section called
"CONFIGURATION BY HAND" below if you want to do the configuration
yourself.

For some libraries, like Gtk+, fontconfig and ALSA, `configure' use 
pkg-config to find where those libraries are installed. 
If you wan't pkg-config to look in special directories, you have to set 
the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the directories 
where the .pc-files for those libraries are.
For example:

 PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/local/alsa/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gtk+-2.8/lib/pkgconfig' \
   ./configure
