Nut upsdev - Jan 2009 - Patch to always install libupsclient-config

Hi,

when building with the WITH_DEV conditional, either `libupsclient.pc'
*or* `libupsclient-config' is installed. This is annoying when linking
with libupsclient, because you basically have to do the check twice,
once using `pkg-config' and once using `libupsclient-config'.

Please consider the attached patch, which changes the behavior of
`lib/Makefile.am' to install `libupsclient-config' regardless of whether
`libupsclient.pc' is installed or not.

Please CC me on replies.

Regards,
-octo

Hi Florian,

practically speaking, you probably only need to check for the  
libupsclient.pc - there are not many people out there who would have  
the library built properly, but who would have libupsclient-config  
instead of libupsclient.pc.

In particular, I think libupsclient was not built on older versions  
of the Debian package, so people would either need to rebuild NUT  
from source with the library enabled, or find a backport.

I think we were in the process of deprecating libupsclient-config.  
Arnaud, is this still the case?

If so, we should probably change configure.in so that it prints an  
error if things don't look right for generating libupsclient.pc.
