I thought about that one beforehand, but left it in deliberately, for 
two reasons: first, I didn't want to make any unnecessary assumptions 
about other packages; second, the configure script checks for that 
explicitly, and I wanted to make sure that any potential errors would 
be expressed in pkgsrc terms.

Hmm -- how do I do that?  I've never used autoconf, and the language in 
that file looks rather arcane.
