+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CHECK_LIBRARY(VARIABLE-PREFIX, HEADER-FILE, LIBRARY-FILE,
+# [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT_FOUND])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Provides a generic test for a given library, similar in concept to the
+# PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro used by pkg-config.
+#
+# Most simplest libraries can be checked against simply through the
+# presence of a header file and a library to link to. This macro allows to
+# wrap around the test so that it doesn't have to be recreated each time.
+#
+# Rather than define --with-$LIBRARY arguments, it uses variables in the
+# same way that PKG_CHECK_MODULES does. It doesn't, though, use the same
+# names, since you shouldn't provide a value for LIBS or CFLAGS but rather
+# for LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, to tell the linker and compiler where to find
+# libraries and headers respectively.
+#
+# If the library is find, HAVE_PREFIX is defined, and in all cases
+# PREFIX_LDFLAGS and PREFIX_CPPFLAGS are substituted.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# AX_CHECK_LIBRARY([LIBEVENT], [event.h], [event], [],
+# [AC_MSG_ERROR([Unable to find libevent])])
