I was pretty much giving up on this and trying to add instructions on how to build expat from scratch to the build instructions.

I was just restoring text that was there before, but unfortunatly that old version was apparently not proper autoconf. I did not want to debug autoconf either.

On older expat versions (ie the one on Ubuntu 12.04) there is no pkg-config
file, so fall back to a test for the header and library. In addition the
source for expat does not seem to be in a git repository but in cvs instead
and it seems preferrable to not require cvs to build wayland.

The restored test has been updated to use AC_SEARCH_LIBS. This version
uses empty square brackets for the unused branches, similar to many other
if statements in configure.ac.

Okay, I think I follow all the logic but am not an autoconf guru by a
long shot, so I'd love to see a second RB from peter, jon, or someone
else comfortable with autoconf before this is landed.
