      Are you sure? My solution (which is included in 1.4.0) works for me

      Maybe this was a problem for some buggy version of autoconf.

  Well, I tried to do something like:

  AC_CHECK_LIB(python2.2, ..., ... )  (search in default location)
  AC_CHECK_LIB(python2.2, ..., -L/usr/lib/python2.2/config) (search in odd location)

  In the configure output, it didn't find the first one, and when it went to try 
again, it didn't find that, and said the result was cached.

  Note the example above is simplified - it actually tried numerous versions.

  Now if you are searching for different libraries (different in this case means 
python2.1, python2.2, python2.0), it will not treat those as the same since the 
name is different.  But if you pass different options to find it, it won't work 
right.
