We had a related discussion about this issue before and you proposed the 
idea of the configure script searching for all headers in this way. Did 
you ever make any changes along these lines? I ask because it would make 
packaging for Fedora cleaner: the glpk headers are in /usr/include/glpk 
(there are a lot of them, so putting them there is a good idea) and 
octave only looks in /usr/include, so I had to add extra flags at the 
configure step.
