New description:

 When configuring debbie to build with sfcgal, I figured since I installed
 sfcgal in system (/usr/bin) installing using apt-get install from sid repo


 {{{
 ./configure --with-sfgcal
 }}}

 would have been sufficient.  Instead I got a compile error:


 {{{
 configure: error: sfcgal-config cannot be found. Please install sfcgal
 }}}


 I had to find where it got installed with:

 {{{
 dpkg -L libsfcgal-dev
 }}}

 and then pass in the full path


 {{{
 --with-sfcgal=/usr/bin/sfcgal-configu
 }}}


 Technically this is not a bug since our documentation says you have to
 pass in the full path, but would be nice for it to find it so its like
 other configure scripts.
