I thought I had tested this approach too and that it failed, hence this
patch updating pkg.m4 and all these other hacks; I knew it was hacky but
it was something which worked across several of my test boxes at that
time.  But when I test it now, it works very fine on both Fedora 23 and
SL7.2 (RHEL7.2 clone).  Well, it's about a year since I fought this, and
patch 3+4 have mostly been unchanged isince then.

As this approach is far better, I'll retract patch 3 and update patch 4
to use this approach instead.  I'll name the macro a bit different
though (SYSTEMD_NEWER_THAN_216), as that reflects more what this
pkg-config check does.

So we can completely disregard "[PATCH v4 3/4] autotools: Add support
for extracting version information from pkg-config modules".
