If both provided a generic name and an implementation name, then we could
advertise a standard Autoconf AC_ARG_WITH pattern that would by default
use the generic name but allow the person building the software to specify
one of the implementations be used instead.

Definitely agreed, and pkg-config would make it much easier to include the
right -I and -L flags.
