What's the reasoning behind using AC_PATH_XTRA in configure.ac files used by some GNOME projects? Today I updated our at-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk packages in Archlinux, both packages linked to libICE and libSM when present, but both didn't need those libraries. After some investigation, it turned out these libraries are added to the dependency list by the AC_PATH_XTRA macro. This macro looks plain stupid to me, but people might have a reason to use it. In the modern world of modular X and pkg-config, is it still required to add that macro to add random dependencies on random X libraries?
