Summary:                    [patch] Incorrectly configure (autoconf) when using
the --with-something=directory construct with non standard directories
Description: 
Asterisk ./configure is broken when trying something like:

./configure --with-libpri=/non_standard_path/to/libpri

(where /non_standard_path/to/libpri contains an unpacked and built version
of libpri-1.4.9.tar.gz)

The problem relates to the macro AST_EXT_LIB_CHECK, which is called 3
times for libpri:

AST_EXT_LIB_CHECK([PRI], [pri], [pri_keypad_facility], [libpri.h])
AST_EXT_LIB_CHECK([PRI_VERSION], [pri], [pri_get_version], [libpri.h])
AST_EXT_LIB_CHECK([PRI_INBANDDISCONNECT], [pri],
[pri_set_inbanddisconnect], [libpri.h])

The first one generates somethings that make sense:

if test "${USE_PRI}" != "no"; then
   pbxlibdir=""
   if test "x${PRI_DIR}" != "x"; then
      if test -d ${PRI_DIR}/lib; then
      	 pbxlibdir="-L${PRI_DIR}/lib"
      else
      	 pbxlibdir="-L${PRI_DIR}"
      fi
   fi
[...]

But the second yields (and the third one yields something similar):
if test "${USE_PRI_VERSION}" != "no"; then
   pbxlibdir=""
   if test "x${PRI_VERSION_DIR}" != "x"; then
      if test -d ${PRI_VERSION_DIR}/lib; then
      	 pbxlibdir="-L${PRI_VERSION_DIR}/lib"
      else
      	 pbxlibdir="-L${PRI_VERSION_DIR}"
      fi
   fi
[...]

Of course PRI_VERSION_DIR does not exist and while HAVE_PRI is correctly
defined to 1, HAVE_PRI_VERSION (and HAVE_PRI_INBANDDISCONNECT) are
incorrectly undefined.

Similar problems exist for other dependencies (include and/or lib paths
incorrect in configure script) -- I've not check if everything relates to
AST_EXT_LIB_CHECK and its use or if other macros are involved.
