+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   MHD_FIND_LIB([FUNCTION_NAME],
+#                [INCLUDES=AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT], [CHECK_CODE],
+#                [LIBS_TO_CHECK],
+#                [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND],
+#                [VAR_TO_PREPEND_LIB=LIBS], [ADDITIONAL_LIBS])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro checks for presence of specific function by including
+#   specified headers and compiling and linking CHECK_CODE.
+#   This checks both the declaration and the presence in library.
+#   If declaration is not found in headers then libraries are not
+#   checked.
+#   LIBS_TO_CHECK is whitespace-separated list of libraries to check.
+#   The macro first tries to link without any library, and if it fails
+#   the libraries are checked one by one. 
+#   The required library (if any) prepended to VAR_TO_PREPEND_LIB (or
+#   to the LIBS variable if VAR_TO_APPEND_LIB is not specified).
+#   By using definition from provided headers, this macro ensures that
+#   correct calling convention is used for detection.
+#
+#   Example usage:
+#
+#     MHD_FIND_LIB([clock_gettime],
+#                  [[#include <time.h>]],
+#                  [[struct timespec tp;
+#                    if (0 > clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tp)) return 3;]],
+#                  [rt],
+#                  [var_use_gettime='yes'],[var_use_gettime='no'])
+#
+#   Defined cache variable used in the check so if any test will not
+#   work correctly on some platform, a user may simply fix it by giving
+#   cache variable in configure parameters, for example:
+#
+#     ./configure mhd_cv_find_clock_gettime=no
+#
+#   This simplifies building from source on exotic platforms as patching
+#   of configure.ac is not required to change results of tests.
