Re: Autoconf check for XML support?

[Ari Johnson]

Attached please find a patch against src/ost_check2.m4 to add the
following check:
  OST_CCXX2_XML([ACTION-IF-TRUE[,ACTION-IF-FALSE]])

On a side note, I've found that I have to set LIBS=-lgettextlib while
running a ./configure that calls OST_CCXX2_VERSION, because ccgnu2_config
doesn't include that library but it is required on my system for
getopt_long().
