configure.ac -- checking for fink

[David Fang]

Hi,
 	The following excerpt of configure.ac, checking for a hard-coded 
default path for fink is not recommended, and should be removed.

         AC_MSG_CHECKING([for fink])
         if test -d /sw; then
                 AC_MSG_RESULT([found, adding /sw to search paths])
                 CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/sw/include"
                 LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/sw/lib"
         else
                 AC_MSG_RESULT([not found])
         fi

Fink does not force users to use the default path, so checking for it 
would be a fallacy.  People who use multiple package managers or local 
trees in addition to fink might accidentally compile against unintended 
prefix/trees, so it would be best to leave it out.  We're patching it out 
of the fink package, so there is less reason to keep it around.

Best,

Fang
