A coupla comments:

* Your code seems to be quite optimistic about being on a Linux system.

* Use AC_DEFUN, not `define', to create Autoconf macros.

* From PostgreSQL 7.1-to-be on you can detect the location of the include
and library files with `pg_config --includedir` and `pg_config --libdir`
respectively.

(I've been thinking about writing a general-purpose PostgreSQL detection
macro for use by third-party products to be included in the PostgreSQL
source.)
