Yeah, my own branch. (Side note: git is *weird*. :-) )
I haven't done anything with it since that initial change though. Keep
meaning to try to get back to it, and see if there's anything else
obvious that needs doing. Other stuff (mostly work related) keeps
happening though.

Huh. Does it print sane values if you run pkg-config manually?
("pkg-config --cflags --libs blkid", I believe.)
Might be worth trying to find out why the configury doesn't like the
library, either, assuming the output above looks OK.
(Or just keep faking it out. The pkg-config support in autoconf is
really nice for that.)

I'm not sure it provides a huge benefit over what Bruce has put together
-- at least, not as of where it was when I looked, back when my change
got applied to it.
If it gets a few more features (or has gotten them since then), then my
opinion might start to change though. The Makefile that we distribute
is fast, but it doesn't really allow customization except via extension
Makefiles (like we do for some of the addons in BLFS: keymap support,
gobject, etc.). Autoconf is kinda nice for that sort of customization.
(It doesn't help portability here, but that's not the only reason to use
it either. :-) )

Alternately, if a tarball is created from the forked repo via "make
dist" or whatever, then it might have the manpages already created. But
worst case, yeah, this would work.
