Stan, can you elucidate on this?  I'm always open to
suggestions.

Seeking will be in libOggFLAC by flac 1.0.6.

The flac distro should have m4 files for each of the libraries,
i.e. libFLAC.m4, libOggFLAC.m4, etc. that define AM_PATH_LIBFLAC,
AM_PATH_LIBOGGFLAC... but I don't think they've tested out that
much.  Anyway I pretty much plagiarized ogg.m4 :)

When you install they'll go in $destdir/share/aclocal I think.
