Actually config.log said -lGLU worked.  If it's not present, maybe the  
simplest solution is to make a symlink.  (It would only need to be  
present for compilation; ld will use the SONAME entry in the library  
to find the runtime name, so it'll correctly use libglut.so.)

Fixing it at the level of the configure script is less than simple;  
you would need to modify configure.in and run autoreconf on it to  
produce a fixed configure (and you're in trouble if you have an older  
autotools than was used to create it originally).
