Hmm.  How about you allow for a switch to tell the package you are doing
(1).  For example: --enable-included-libl1.  You may pass this to the
top package configure, it will pass it through.

Then have the sub-configure skip the test for libl1 in that case.

Agreed, it's not a great solution.  Better suggestions welcome.
