this would be useful in it's own right, wouldn't it? it seems to do
good to some of utils/.
while here.. is there any point in WM_CHECK_{LIB,HEADER} (from
m4/windowmaker.m4)? what do they do AC_CHECK_{LIB,HEADER} doesn't?
just asking because if we also declare that xft version checking is
not needed anymore (2.1.0 is at least 7 years old), m4/windowmaker.m4
could also be retired.
