      For the HHVM driver I need both libbson and libmongoc, and my source code is organised like:

      .
      ├── libbson
      ├── libmongoc
      ├── src
      │   └── MongoDB
      └── tests
      

      However, when you run autogen.sh for libmongoc - it insists on pulling in its own libbson submodule clone in libmongoc/src/libbson.

      ./configure has an option " --with-libbson=[auto/system/bundled]", which I would like to see extended to either of:

      • a specific directory, so I can have libbson wherever I want
      • "parent" as an option (or "sibling", or whatever name you come up with), to allow for libbson to live in the same directory as libmongoc does as per above directory tree.
