I've played with that a bit (using readline as a target
library), and the bad news about that one is: It does not
consider the dependency libraries "optional".

So for example doing something like
        AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS(readline, [curses tinfo termcap])
is a bad idea.
(There two basic possibilities:
 1) -lreadline is enough (on most modern shared library
    systems)
 2) Any one of the additional libraries is needed.
)

If just boinks out with "tinfo not found".


I know, it's not your fault, just wanted to let someone
know about the traps available.


I'll probably stick with pkg-config for a few months first.
