Yes, I didn't have the library or header installed :) Given that the
library check is first I put in a fail condition for that. When I
figure out how to put in an error if the AC_CHECK_HEADERS fails I'll
submit that too. Just consider it the mailing list equivalent of
slashdot karma whoring :-P

Correct. If the user had the library but not the headers the configure
step would not fail (AC_CHECK_HEADERS would output a "no" but would
still continue. A user would only /see/ a failure on making the
project).
/me has had too many beers :)
