Sorry, but it is error-prone, and it is pretty painfull
to copy-n-paste all these lines for each library test. I
thought the goal of autoconf is to make maintaining a
build system easier?

No offense.

My suggestion would be to put your wrapper into an
additional macro AC_CHECK_LIB_XTD. Give me some time
to learn m4 and I could post it here, but I guess it
would be pretty easy.

Would this be possible?
