This removes the LDFLAGS from the template and adds an autoconf check

This removes the LDFLAGS from the template and adds an autoconf check
for the library.  not sure if this will cause problems on other
platforms, but if it does it can be easily fixed.  Also remove the
references to the GeekGadgets includes as the majority of users don't
have them installed and they foul the build process.  We can document
that adding them if you have them installed is a good idea.
