I had a quick look at the fio code base, and the configure script
(which is not autoconf based) seems to have some code to detect whether
libaio is present, and only use it when available.

Also, what seems to be dlopen()ed is not the libaio library itself, but
rather "external engines", i.e parts of fio.

So I'm not sure about your patch, and I'd like to do some more testing
about it.

Thanks,

Thomas
