Two comments: First, support for specifying it on configure requires you
to call AC_ARG_VAR ("require" as in it would prevent people from
shooting themselves in the foot). Please read up on it and add the
appropriate call. Second, the AC_MSG_NOTICE calls are there for some
variables because configure may modify them. But LDFLAGS_SL is just
taken as given, so there is no need to print a notice about it.
