Description Henry Jen 2006-11-03 22:42:28 UTC 
Attached patch allows to build apr-util with system provided libexpat on
OpenSolaris.

On the machine, there is a expat.h and libexpat.so.* in /usr/sfw/include and
/usr/sfw/lib. But there is no .a or .la file.

It should not be required to have a .la file, not to mention a .a file. .a is,
afaik, an archive file for static link.

Attached patch use AC_CHECK_LIB to ensure a library can be found, and it uses a
for loop to look into potential folders, currently I put lib and lib64 in there.

link test for libexpat from lib or lib64

Detect libexpat with link test. Assuming lib should be in lib or lib64. Other
can be added if appropriate
