Use pkg-config's pkg.m4
* configure.ac: Use pkg-config's pkg.m4, rather than reinventing it. Add explicit AC_SUBST's where needed. * autogen.sh (progs): Add pkg-config. (pkg_config_min): New variable. * INSTALL.REPO: Mention pkg-config. * etc/PROBLEMS: Mention a related issue that can occur with a local automake.

+** Autogen.sh / Autoreconf
+
+*** Running `autogen.sh' or `autoreconf' fails with an error of the form
+"possibly undefined macro: PKG_CONFIG". This indicates that the version
+of aclocal that you are using cannot find the pkg.m4 file that
+pkg-config provides. If you installed your own version of automake in
+a non-standard location /prefix, then add a line to the
+/prefix/share/aclocal/dirlist file (create the file if necessary)
+that gives the location of the directory that contains pkg.m4
+(e.g. /usr/share/aclocal).

** Configuration
*** `configure' warns ``accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor''.
