Hi Niels. 

I don't know what is the correct interpretation of the FHS, but by
default all other autoconf'ed and GNU packages always use
libdir=$prefix/lib (with the --libdir option allowing it to be
overridden if someone wants to use lib64 or whatever).

So I'd recommend to use the autoconf default of $prefix/lib, as you
will be in the good company of hundreds of other packages that way.

The distributions already have their own ways of using --libdir on
autoconf'ed packages so you don't need to worry about it yourself.
