Hi Eric,

thank for your ongoing improvement of configure.in!

Here my report (just updated)

o.k.

Also, note that there doesn't seem to be a good way

Mhhh, here we have the problem that the start script is neither
put into /usr/local/bin nor /usr/bin.
I think we should decide to write it to  /usr/bin on default.
Means: The UNIX_BIN would have to be set differently than prefix.

DLLIB is o.k.
ZLIB as well,
XDRLIB, too

PostgreSQL, o.k.
openGL o.k.

not yet o.k.:
 ODBCINC not yet (not yet implemented, I think)
 TCLINCDIR           =
 -> found from configure, but here it's empty (it's in /usr/include)
 TKINCDIR            =
 -> found from configure, but here it's empty (it's in /usr/include)
 TCLTKLIBS           =
 -> *not* found from configure (in /usr/lib)

Now I will compile...
