The macro MDL_HAVE_OPENGL is what you want. It is in the Autoconf Macro
Archive at http://peti.cys.de/autoconf-archive/ in the file
mdl_have_opengl.m4. It should do everything you want. If it doesn't,
please let me know (or better yet, send me a patch) as I am the original
author if it.
FYI, I always write a "tracking package" for the Autoconf macros that I
write which demonstrates how to use the macro in a real world package. The
tracking package for MDL_HAVE_OPENGL is at
ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/langston/autoconf/ in the file
ac_opengl-0.0.3.tar.gz.
We were originally going to include this macro in the Autoconf package last
summer, but later decided that the Autoconf Macro Archive would be a better
place for it, as it is so specialized. The Autoconf Macro Archive is a gold
mine of Autoconf macros for package authors, so you should definitely check
it out. Peter Simons has done an excellent job on setting this up for the
community, and maintaining it.
