Subject: [RFC/PATCH 7] autoconf: Checks for libraries

From: Jakub Narebski <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 23:07:12 +0200

./configure script checks now if the following libraries are present:
 * -lssl    for SHA1_Init (NO_OPENSSL)
 * -lcurl   for curl_easy_setopt (NO_CURL)
 * -lexpat  for XML_ParserCreate (NO_EXPAT)
It also checks if adding the following libraries are needed:
 * -lcrypto for SHA1_Init (NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CRYPTO)
 * -liconv  for iconv (NEEDS_LIBICONV)
 * -lsocket for socket (NEEDS_SOCKET)

Policy: we check also if NEEDS_LIBRARY libraries are present, even if
there is no NO_LIBRARY variable.

Needs checking if correct functions are used for checks.

Policy might need to be changed, too.
