For eclipse-based builds it would be friendlier if, by default,
configure would search for the needed libraries and then simply not
compile things if dependencies are missing.

Also I noticed we are doing this:

    AC_SUBST(PLUGIN_DIR, $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/)

That seems weird, especially for distro use.  (Also according to GNU
standards we shouldn't install anything outside $prefix.)  I think we
probably need another option to set this install directory.

Finally... I see this in the plugin Makefile.am:

install-libLTLIBRARIES: $(lib_LTLIBRARIES)
        $(INSTALL) -d -m0755 $(DESTDIR)@PLUGIN_DIR@
        $(INSTALL) .libs/libgcjwebplugin.so $(DESTDIR)@PLUGIN_DIR@

Overriding an internal rule is not supported by automake.  If we
really, really want to do this, then the correct approach is a new
directory variable.
