Well, I had a go at this just for interest, guessing at how to alter configure
script and src/Makefile.in though I have little idea how they work. In case
the principle is of any interest, the 2 attached patches enable the salsa
include sub-directory to be set by configure option '--alsaincludedir=',
otherwise it is (includedir)/alsa. In my case the reason is to be able to
put it in (includedir)/salsa so the headers are separate. The patches are
from 0.0.14 but apply to 0.0.17 OK.
I am sure the alterations are not complete, and perhaps the variable should be
renamed 'salsaincludedir' in this case, but that won't matter unless there is
any interest in adding this option.
