Autoconf macros for various libraries.

[Craig Sanders]

Hello all.

Does anyone know if any Autoconf macros exist for checking if the following 
libraries are installed on a system?

  - Crypto++ C++ encryption library
  - ACE (Adaptive Communications Environment) C++ library

I have had a bit of a look around - including the Autoconf macro archive, but I 
couldn't seem to find anything. I don't really want to have to write my own 
macros, but if I have to then I will.

This last point leads me to my next question, and that is; are there any good 
guidelines for writing such Autoconf macros? I was thinking of using the 
Autoconf Boost library detection macros as a reference.

Thanks in advance.
