The idea is reasonable, but ----
1) PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG isn't defined in aclocal.m4, and it isn't
defined in the default autoconf 2.61 macro libraries. That can be
worked around, but....
2) At least on Debian, devmapper has a buggy .pc file. The problem is
that "pkg-config --static --libs devmapper" returns:
-L/lib -ldevmapper -lselinux -lsepol
instead of:
-pthread -L/lib -ldevmapper -lselinux -lsepol
The problem is that devmapper.pc needs to patched as follows:
--- /usr/lib/pkgconfig/devmapper.pc.orig 2007-09-24 11:29:27.000000000

Eric, can you confirm whether or not Fedora has this bug fixed? Maybe
a confirmation will convince Debian to fix this bug that has been
ignored for the past 1 YEAR and 93 DAYS. Also, maybe you can check to
see if this needs to fixed upstream?
