Cool.

Until then I just wanted to say there's was one omission in this
work-around. You must make sure to run AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER
beforehand which sets the default load paths variable.

It actually should be something like this:

        # Get the default library search paths ($sys_lib_search_path_spec)
        AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER

        if test "$ext_shared" = "yes"; then
                if test -n "$ac_libevent_path"; then
                        LIBEVENT_LIBS="-L$ac_libevent_path/lib -levent"
                else
                        LIBEVENT_LIBS="-levent"
                fi
        else
                libevent_a="libevent.a"
                if test -n "$ac_libevent_path"; then
                        if test -f "$ac_libevent_path/lib/$libevent_a" ; then
                                
LIBEVENT_LIBS="$ac_libevent_path/lib/$libevent_a"
                        fi
                else
                        for search_path in $sys_lib_search_path_spec ; do
                                if test -f "$search_path$libevent_a" ; then
                                        LIBEVENT_LIBS="$search_path$libevent_a"
                                        break;
                                fi
                        done
                fi
                if test -z "$LIBEVENT_LIBS"; then
                        AC_MSG_ERROR([libevent.a could not be found. Use 
--with-libevent=shared])
                fi
        fi
