dnl compilelinkrun.m4 - used to check whether a required package is properly 
dnl installed.  Compiles, links and runs a c++ test program that uses the 
dnl package to verify that the package is properly installed
dnl
dnl Expected arguments:
dnl $1: the name of the package we are testing, e.g. "OpenEXR"
dnl     used for informational messages, warnings & errors
dnl
dnl $2: the argument passed to configure specifying how to disable this test
dnl     for example:
dnl     $3 = "openexrtest" and 
dnl     "configure --disable-openexrtest" will skip the test
dnl
dnl $3: CXXFLAGS used by the test
dnl
dnl $4: LDFLAGS used by the test
dnl
dnl $5: include section of sourcecode for a c++ test program
dnl $6: body section of sourcecode for a c++ test program
dnl The test program should make use of a library that is supposed to 
dnl be tested.
dnl
dnl $7: the action to be perfomed if the test succeeds 
dnl     (e.g. AC_MSG_RESULT("OpenEXR test program succeeded"))
dnl
dnl $8   the action to be perfomed if the test fails
dnl     (e.g. AC_MSG_ERROR("OpenEXR test program failed"))
