artemp/tickets2issues — Issue #609: SCons CheckLibWithHeader should not use all libraries but actually target specific lib and header

This will be a big behavior change, so we'll need to carefully test (because previously adding e.g. the includes for ICU would allow boost to be found if in the same location, while boost includes could be wrong).

But, problems can break SCons scripts when libs are attached that are not the ones being tested and includes have not been properly added.

For example this was seen on CentOS 5.4 when checking for MAPNIK_VERSION:

{{{
g++ -o .sconf_temp/conftest_32.o -c -DHAVE_LIBXML2 -DHAVE_CAIRO -DHAVE_PYCAIRO -Iagg/include -I. -Iinclude -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/cairomm-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/pycairo .sconf_temp/conftest_32.cpp
g++ -o .sconf_temp/conftest_32 .sconf_temp/conftest_32.o -Lagg -Lsrc -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lxml2 -lcairomm-1.0 -lcairo -lm -lltdl -lpng -ltiff -lz -ljpeg -lproj -licuuc -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_regex -lboost_iostreams -lboost_program_options -lboost_thread -lsqlite3 -lpq -lgdal
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq
}}}

fuller log show oddity because pg_config was found:
