I use something similar to:
AC_PATH_PROGS([TOOL_XML2_CONFIG], [xml2-config])
AS_IF([test -n "$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG"],
[XML2_CFLAGS=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --cflags`
XML2_LIBS=`$TOOL_XML2_CONFIG --libs`],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([missing program 'xml2-config'; is 'libxml2' or 'libxml2-devel' installed?])])
AC_SUBST([XML2_CFLAGS])
AC_SUBST([XML2_LIBS])
You could use a variation of this to obtain the version.
cheers,
Luke.
