[Monotone-devel] [PATCH] Make monotone build on Debian unstable.

[Nathaniel Smith]

Debian munges its Lua packages to allow different major versions to be
installed at once; in particular, the Lua 4.0 headers files are in lua40
(e.g., <lua40/lua.h>), and the libraries have "40" appended (e.g.,
-llua40).  This patch against the 0.3 release[1] causes configure to
check for both in both places and use whatever works.  I also changed
configure to exit with an error if any of the checks for Lua fail,
since the lack of errors from configure confused me for a bit, and I
threw in a similar error for libpopt while I was at it.  (Possibly
similar errors should be added if the -ldl or -lpthread checks fail,
but I wasn't sure.)

With this patch, monotone builds cleanly and all tests pass on Debian
unstable with all prerequisites filled through packages.

[1] Though it should apply cleanly to HEAD, from the looks of things.
