Description James Henstridge 2005-06-13 03:46:53 UTC 
The following patch adds a PKG_CHECK_EXISTS() macro.  A fair number of Gnome
packages do things like this:
  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(NOTUSED, somepackage, somepackage_exists=yes,
somepackage_exists=no)

And don't use the resulting NOTUSED_CFLAGS / NOTUSED_LIBS environment variables.

The PKG_CHECK_EXISTS() macro only does the --exists check, without setting
variables or exiting if there is no ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND and the check fails.  It
also logs the check to config.log.  I also modified the _PKG_CONFIG() macro to
use PKG_CHECK_EXISTS().
