No,  the test fails;  which is  correct, for  plain Autoconf
usage,  when a  library is  not recognised.   IMHO  the best
thing to  do is to have this  test fail if it  does not find
the  correct library  and document  the way  of  selecting a
different "lib"  directory (through the  LDFLAGS variable on
the command line of "configure").

Yes.

  Also, I noticed that there  is no test for the presence of
the header file.
