+# ============================================================================

+# ============================================================================
+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CREATE_GENERIC_CONFIG [(PACKAGEnlibs [, VERSION])]
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Creates a generic PACKAGE-config file that has all the things that you
+#   want, hmm, well, atleast it has --cflags, --version, --libs. Ahhm, did
+#   you see ax_path_generic in the autoconf-archive? ;-)
+#
+#   this macros saves you all the typing for a pkg-config.in script, you
+#   don't even need to distribute one along. Place this macro in your
+#   configure.ac, et voila, you got one that you want to install.
+#
+#   oh, btw, if the first arg looks like "mylib -lwhat' then it will go to
+#   be added to the --libs, and mylib is extracted.
+#
+#   the defaults: $1 = $PACKAGE $LIBS $2 = $VERSION there is also an
+#   AC_SUBST(GENERIC_CONFIG) that will be set to the name of the file that
+#   we did output in this macro. Use as:
+#
+#    install-exec-local:    install-generic-config
+#
+#    install-generic-config:
+#       $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
+#       $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) @GENERIC_CONFIG@ $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
