./configure --with-geany-libdir=/home/jd/local/geany-test/lib would be
the right way to go. --with-geany-libdir wants the ${libdir}, not the
${prefix} of Geany.

Depending on the distro, this can be
${geany_prefix}/lib or ${geany_prefix}/lib64 or even
${geany_prefix}/lib32. I didn't want to autodetect that, so I left it
to the user to specify. I thought it was pretty obvious, considering it
was worded "geany-libdir" rather than "geany-prefix". I guess it wasn't
obvious enough.

Anyway, I haven't gotten round to this, but I plan to scrap all this
--with-geany-* crap and just let you specify the --prefix/libdir and let
everything be resolved automatically.
