What the GNOME people have done is use this little post-patch regex
substitution.  This has been pretty successful.  It may still miss some
obscure -lpthread references, though.  If you find a problem in a port
that uses this, please let me know.

@${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's|-lpthread|${PTHREAD_LIBS}|g ; \
	s|DATADIRNAME=lib|DATADIRNAME=share|g' ${WRKSRC}/configure
