I've now patched libchipcard3-3.0.4 to make this path configurable. 
Unfornately, I cannot test it, since recreating the auto* output files 
fails:

sascha.silbe@polly:~/src/libchipcard3-3.0.4$ autoreconf
configure.ac:127: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ENABLE_STATIC
        If this token and others are legitimate, please use 
m4_pattern_allow.
        See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:128: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ENABLE_SHARED
configure.ac:137: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
configure.ac:138: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_RC
configure.ac:139: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1


This is on Ubuntu gutsy (7.10).
