Hello,

I started using automake/autoconf recently and it works out very well.
I also developed some macros for external packages (--with-xxx) which
are
required in our software. Mostly looking at 'examples' in the autoconf
macro
archive, I found that a useful macro only checks whether something can
be
found or not.

The actual package configuration process should then decide how it
behaves,
depending on whether the package is required or optional. I have two
scenarios:

 - if a certain package is not configure, a certain subdirectory should
not be
   built

 - if a required package is missing, the configuration process should
stop
   with an error

How would these best be taken into account in configure.in/Makefile.am?
