AC_WIRESHARK_ADD_DASH_L adds -L<libdir> which means it might link against an
older installed wireshark's libraries. Generally the linker should already know
to find <libdir> so do not add it here. Gentoo has been carrying this patch for
a long time (as the version in the filename might point out) but I don't see
how it wouldn't carry over to other distributions or indeed platforms.
