Subject: passing --with-X-dir to bundled extensions while building 1.8.0

I can't seem to find a "good" way to do this.

What I would *like* to have is a way to specify them to the top-level
configure script.  But ext/extmk.rb isn't set up to be able to handle
extra switches. Since it load()s the ext/*/extconf.rb files directly,
there doesn't seem to be any other way.

I can run the extconf.rb files by hand, but then of course the
extensions are installed to site_ruby.
