Is there a generally approved way for an XS module to test for the

MakeMaker uses ExtUtils::CBuilder->have_compiler() in it's tests.
It's worked well with no complaints. It's an additional testing
dependency, but it's a useful one and Module::Build will eventually
suck it in anyway.
Noted, thanks. I'm getting good results with Devel::CheckLib right now
- which autobundles itself into your distribution - so is hassle free.
