I think he's asking: libsomething.la might appear in one of several
directories.  How do I tell automake and/or libtool that?

Gary, the only answer might be that you have to make this decision at
configure time.  Well, or do something unusually ugly like:

    program_LIBADD = `find-the-library-script libsomething.la`

I don't know if that will even work.  (It certainly isn't supported.)
