	After only briefly looking at the generated ./configure script,
I don't believe that --libdir is not added to the LIBS (as you found out).

	libstroke is a non-gEDA/gaf specific library, so I don't search
for it in any user accessable directories.  In the ./configure script
I assume that it is installed as a system library.  Perhaps this is a bug.

	As you discovered this is the right way to get libraries into
the search path for the ./configure script.

	The other libraries such as libgdgeda or libgeda are searched
for differently.  In the first case, a libgdgeda-config script is searched
for and used to determine where things are installed and in the latter case,
pkg-config is used to determine where things are installed.
