[PATCH] make the name of the library directory a config option

Introduce new makefile variable lib to hold the name of the lib directory ("lib" by default). Also introduce a switch for configure to specify this name with --with-lib=ARG. This is useful for systems that use a different name than "lib" (like "lib64" on some 64 bit Linux architectures).
