I'm not sure this makes sense.  libibverbs has a certain default path
but users can easily override it by setting the OPENIB_DRIVER_PATH
environment variable.  For example, I often compile libmthca but don't
install it, and then point OPENIB_DRIVER_PATH at my source directory.

Is there any way we can use an existing tool like pkg-config to help
with this situation?
