|If system libraries are installed in a non-standard directory, and out of the control of the Ruby builder/installer, there is no good way to specify the location of the header/lib files with "configure".  Specifying additional CFLAGS, etc., is overkill since the non-standard locations need only be known at the time of building the specific library.

It already does.  For example configure accepts --with-tcl-dir option.
