That technique is somewhat old school. The more modern way to do things is with the pkg-config tool. > How > can one use this information in the context of autotools?

For something called whatever, it might look like: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(WHATEVER, whatever >= 1.0.6, ac_cv_whatever=1, ac_cv_whatever=0) AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([HAVE_WHATEVER],$ac_cv_whatever,[Set to 1 if you have libwhatever.]) In your Makefile.am you can then use @WHATEVER_CFLAGS@ and @WHATEVER_LIBS@.
