Can those familiar with autoconf handle this one?

First I'll say that I am not very familiar with autoconf or even C
programming.
I made some changes to the configure.in file that work much better for
me and thought I would share them.
First I'll explain my particular problem and provide the solution that
works on my system.
I am using FreeBSD 4.7
I have both freetype1 and freetype2 installed on my system from the
freebsd ports.
the --enable-force-freetype1=yes always detects that I have freetype2
and never sees freetype1
this part of the configure.in does not detect either library hence the
reason it never finds freetype1 with --enable-force-freetype1
if test "$enable_force_freetype1" = "yes" ; then
dnl check for freetype1 first
AC_CHECK_LIB(ttf, TT_Init_FreeType, FT_LIB="-lttf",
AC_CHECK_LIB(freetype, FT_Init_FreeType, FT_LIB="-lfreetype",,)
)
else
dnl check for freetype2 first
AC_CHECK_LIB(freetype, FT_Init_FreeType, FT_LIB="-lfreetype",
AC_CHECK_LIB(ttf, TT_Init_FreeType, FT_LIB="-lttf",,) )
fi
According to the autoconf documentation I read this should work but it
does not for some strange reason.
So I did some copying and pasting in the configure.in and came up with
these changes that do work for me.
now if I specify --enable-force-freetype1=yes it detects freetype1 if I
do not specify it it default to detecting freetype2
mapserver compiled fine and renders True Type fonts perfect with these
changes.
