LyX already has something for that: it is called LYX_CHECK_DECL (if you want to search
just one header) or LYX_CHECK_DECL_HDRS (if you want to try more than one header).
These were stolen my me from word2x and then enhanced a bit :-) In fact configure.in
uses LYX_CHECK_DECL_HDRS to find out if mkstemp is declared in unistd.h or stdlib.h
already.
Why is evertone so keen or re-inventing the wheel given an already avaialable high
quality one? Am I missing something?
