- better conformance of Makefiles to GNU coding standards
- bindir/prefix, etc. can be changed anytime make is performed and is not hardcoded on configure time anymore - paths are written to the intermediate paths.inc file (instead of config-xyz.inc) - binary is not stripped anymore - fpc.m4 rewrite - additional options like heaptrace, range-checks - noexecstack workaround - some more changes - configure.ac helper functions moved to ax_ectract_version.m4 and pkg_config_utils.m4 - some icons moved from artwork to icons git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/ultrastardx/svn/trunk@1351 b956fd51-792f-4845-bead-9b4dfca2ff2c

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# PKG_HAVE(VARIABLE_PREFIX, MODULE, [REQUIRED])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Checks with pkg-config if a package exists and retrieves
+# information about it.
+#
+# Parameters:
+# - VARIABLE_PREFIX: the prefix for the variables storing information about the package.
+# - MODULE: package name according to pkg-config
+# - REQUIRED: if true, the configure-script is aborted if the package was not found
+#
+# Uses:
+# with_[$VARIABLE_PREFIX]: whether and how the package should be checked for
+# "check": check for the package but do not abort if it does not exist (default)
+# "no": do not check for the package (sets _HAVE to "no" and _VERSION to "0.0.0")
+# "yes": check for the package and abort if it does not exist
+# "nocheck": do not check for the package (sets _HAVE to "yes")
+#
+# Sets:
+# [$VARIABLE_PREFIX]_HAVE # package is available (values: "yes"|"no")
+# [$VARIABLE_PREFIX]_LIBS # linker flags (e.g. -Lmylibdir -lmylib)
+# [$VARIABLE_PREFIX]_LIBDIRS # library dirs (e.g. -Lmylibdir)
