Not sure what the best practice is, but the common practice is to have 
Devel::CheckLib handle the checking for the presence of the 3rd party 
library.

In the event that the 3rd party library cannot be located I think you want 
the 'perl Makefile.pl' process to 'exit 0' - or you could perhaps set things 
up so that the 3rd party lib is then fetched via Alien:: , in which case the 
build can then go ahead.
