For a good and thorough check for a "package" consisting of headers and
libraries (including file-existance and linkability tests) look e.g. in
kdebase/kioslave/ldap/configure.in.in, and the similar modeled
kdebase/kioslave/audiocd/configure.in.in.  Someday I'll factor them out
into acinclude.m4.in.

You only write Makefile.am's yourself.  If needed also configure.in.in's
which check for various features needed by your program.


Ciao,
Michael.
