It would be much better to do it automatically, like in the iw makefile:

NL1FOUND := $(shell pkg-config --atleast-version=1 libnl-1 && echo Y)
NL2FOUND := $(shell pkg-config --atleast-version=2 libnl-2.0 && echo Y)

ifeq ($(NL1FOUND),Y)
NLLIBNAME = libnl-1
endif

ifeq ($(NL2FOUND),Y)
CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_LIBNL20
LIBS += -lnl-genl
NLLIBNAME = libnl-2.0
endif

Users should not be expected to verify versions of the libraries they
have on their systems.
