Isn't this what configure is for so people actually have the libraries they

all warn you if you don't have the libraries that you need before you compile
it.
Generally speaking that is what autoconf is for yes. It is very good at
detecting if a program is installed on machine. It is also very good at
detecting if a program has a certain feature, if libc has function x for
example. If you want to check for a version number you have to hack some
shell and M4 like Simon did in his pull request.
Thanks
