It's less broken than as is, which used *both* old headers and old 
library when installing to a non-system location, which is required for 
packaging.

When not installing to a non-system location, yes, it uses non-installed 
headers, and the library that was *just* installed, which also isn't a 
problem.

Perhaps the patch could be modified to use the just-installed headers 
too, using $(DESTDIR) similar to how I used it for finding the library. 
  At least it would then be more consistent.
