[Gridflow-dev] small issue with OpenCV on Debian Etch

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Hi,

I checked out the current GridFlow CVS, and (perhaps unwisely) wanted to 
have all the possible options, including OpenCV.  There was a slight 
issue with Debian Etch which calls libcv.so libcv0.9.7.so instead.

Extract from config.log:

Seems Debian Etch has the version number in the library name:

This patch fixes it:

Hope this is useful to someone,
