I've just submitted an improved version of your patch (keeping your
authorship, of course), fixing a good number of problems along the way:

    [Thomas:
     - add dependency on threads, wchar and dynamic librayr
     - add dependency on libiconv when locale support is not enabled
     - replace patch hacking includedir by a patch that lets the Makefile
       obey to $(DESTDIR)
     - remove optional OpenSSL and MySQL support which simply cannot work
       due to the usage of AC_CHECK_FILE() in configure.ac, this required
       an additional patch to fix the bogus AC_ARG_WITH() calls.
     - move from 'Miscellaneous' to 'Libraries' -> 'Other'.
     - fixup the licensing information.]

Notice that I've removed the optional OpenSSL and MySQL features,
because the configure.ac logic to detect those libraries is badly
broken and I'm personally not sufficiently interested with qlibc to fix
those issues myself. If you're interested, feel free to investigate and
send follow-up patches.

Thanks!

Thomas
