[BuildTools] BuildTools help

[Stefan Vigerske]

Hi,

the include paths are set by the OSLIB_CFLAGS variable in OS.
And the purpose of the OSLib argument in the AC_COIN_CHECK_USER_LIBRARY 
macro is to add the path to Csdp to the OSLIB_CFLAGS variable.

Thus, you should either resolve the error you got from run_autotools 
when using the OSLib argument, or you had CSDP_CFLAGS (which should be 
set by the AC_COIN_CHECK_USER_LIBRARY macro, too) to the compiler flags 
(AM_CPPFLAGS) in OS/src/OSSolverInterfaces/Makefile.am.

The configure file currently has two other calls to AC_COIN_CHECK_USER_LIBRARY (for Lindo and knitro), but I have neither of those installed on my system, so I can't really use them to verify my approach. (The checks for these two packages have a fourth argument, [OSLib], but when I tried this with Csdp, I got an error message during the run_autotools step. Taking it out completed the run_autotools.)
