So far the contenders are test x`which sdl-config | 2>&1 grep -v ^no` != x and a shell function that implements a properly quiet which. David Snider leans towards the first and I lean towards the second.

Probably just a typo with your pipe, but I would write the shell code as test x$(which sdl-config 2>&1 | grep -v ^no) != x. I like the $ ( ) syntax rather than the back ticks ` ` as it is a little easier to read, IMO. To be honest, you folks are the developers, I'm just a sysadmin with a small bit of shell scripting ability, I'd go with whatever the two of you choose for maintainability.
