#
#  SYNOPSIS:
#    X_AC_CHECK_COND_LIB(library, function)
#
#  DESCRIPTION:
#    Check whether a program can be linked with <library> to get <function>.
#    Like AC_CHECK_LIB(), except that if the check succeeds, HAVE_LIB<library>
#    will be defined and a shell variable LIB<library> containing "-l<library>"
#    will be substituted via AC_SUBST().
#
#    In other words, this is just like the default action of AC_CHECK_LIB(),
#    except that instead of modifying LIBS (which will affect the linking of
#    all executables), the shell variable LIB<library> is defined so it can be
#    added to the linking of just those executables needing this library.
#    Also note that this checks to see if the library is even needed at all.
