The new 'internal linc' is renamed to 'link'. It is a completely separate
namespace and you cannot harm it by 'linc' in any way.

In my
	http://cvs.jankratochvil.net/viewcvs/*checkout*/captive/configure.in?rev=HEAD
I use the detection below to be able to specify proper package dependencies in
a fool-checked way. It also handles the check of 'liblinc' for the static
linkage when .la of libORBit2 is missing.
