I see what you mean, but your patch is wrong, it should only call 
AC_MSG_RESULT if $4 is set, else it'll do the AC_MSG_ERROR and complain 
that way.  (In addition, in this case, it'd be more useful to use 
PKG_CHECK_EXISTS rather than PKG_CHECK_MODULES.)

I have a bunch of patches I should commit and get 0.21 released soon, I 
think.
