this is yet another example of how the pkg system uses (or, more
properly, provides to the configure script) /usr/pkg/lib to find
libraries, but does not use /usr/pkg/include to find include files.  i
had a problem similar to this with mutt in august (mutt found a
library it wanted in /usr/pkg/lib, no corresponding include file, and
failed to build), but was dismissed with a "mutt should not be doing
that...you should upgrade your pkgsrc".
