Chances are that the -rpath or -R linker options do what you
need. You'll have to ship the libraries and the binaries which need
them and know the place where the libraries will be installed. The
compiler will also need suitable -I options to find the 'custom'
headers and the linker additional -L to find them at link time.

Provided autosorrow is being used correctly (almost a contradictio in
adiecto, it seems ...), all of this should be settable by passing
suitable LDFLAGS and CFLAGS environment variables to the configure
invocation.
