I've struggling with integrating the SQL stuff with Autoconf. My intent was
(and still, to some degree, is) to provide a simple patch for Jürgen.

But alas! My plan has been foiled! Bu that creature of the shadows that go
by the name Autoconf.

My question to anyone here (especially Jürgen) how can I fix the following
two problems:

*Problem number 1:*
The Postgres detection script that is available at the Autoconf Archive
fails on my Ubuntu system because its include file is in
/usr/include/postgres/libpq-fe.h instead of /usr/include/libpq-fe.h. Of
course, one can override it using an option, but I would like to fix the
macro instead. However, the content of the macro is somewhat impenetrable
to me.

*Problem number 2:*
When I activate the macros that check for Postgres and SQLite, the
configure step will fail if they are not found. What I want is that these
should be optional, and if one is missing support for these databases will
simply not be provided.

Would anyone be willing to help out getting this to work? I'm getting
frustrated here (it's no secret that I'm not a huge fan of Autoconf).

Regards,
Elias
