@majorheading Synopsis

@smallexample
AX_caolan_SEARCH_PACKAGE(PACKAGE, FUNCTION, LIBRARY LIST, HEADERFILE [, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
@end smallexample

@majorheading Description

Provides --with-PACKAGE, --with-PACKAGE-include and
--with-PACKAGE-libdir options to configure. Supports the now standard
--with-PACKAGE=DIR approach where the package's include dir and lib dir
are underneath DIR, but also allows the include and lib directories to
be specified separately

adds the extra -Ipath to CFLAGS if needed adds extra -Lpath to LD_FLAGS
if needed searches for the FUNCTION in each of the LIBRARY LIST with
AC_SEARCH_LIBRARY and thus adds the lib to LIBS

defines HAVE_PKG_PACKAGE if it is found, (where PACKAGE in the
HAVE_PKG_PACKAGE is replaced with the actual first parameter passed)
note that autoheader will complain of not having the HAVE_PKG_PACKAGE
and you will have to add it to acconfig.h manually
