Checking for necessary X11 libraries before building Ghostscript
Until now, Ghostscript was using some host system's X11 libraries during
its build (and later at run-time). We should ideally install all these
necessary libraries within the template (Task #15481). But right now we are
too busy.
As a temporary work-around we try building a small dummy program that links
with some of those libraries before attempting to built Ghostscript. If it
fails, then a notice is printed with the cause and explaining a temporary
solution is suggested: how to install those libraries on the system when
you have root access.
