+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PREFIX, PUBLIC-MODULES, PRIVATE-MODULES, [PUBLIC-VARIABLE], [PRIVATE-VARIABLE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   A wrapper around PKG_CHECK_MODULES which splits the list of modules into
+#   public and private dependencies, and produces two variables listing the
+#   dependencies across all invocations of AX_PKG_CHECK_MODULES. These two
+#   variables are exposed via AC_SUBST, and should be used in a pkg-config
+#   file as the substituted values for Requires and Requires.private.
+#
+#   The PREFIX, PUBLIC-MODULES and PRIVATE-MODULES arguments should be
+#   specified as for PKG_CHECK_MODULES, with the concatenation of
+#   PUBLIC-MODULES and PRIVATE-MODULES equaling the LIST-OF-MODULES from
+#   PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
+#
+#   PUBLIC-VARIABLE defaults to AX_PACKAGE_REQUIRES, and PRIVATE-VARIABLE
+#   defaults to AX_PACKAGE_REQUIRES_PRIVATE.  Both variables are AC_SUBST-ed
+#   by this macro.
+#
+#   For example:
+#
+#     AX_PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GLIB],[glib-2.0 gio-2.0],[gthread-2.0])
+#     AX_PKG_CHECK_MODULES([DBUS],[],[dbus-glib-1 >= 0.98 dbus-1])
+#
+#   results in the substitutions:
+#
+#     AX_PACKAGE_REQUIRES="glib-2.0 gio-2.0"
+#     AX_PACKAGE_REQUIRES_PRIVATE="gthread-2.0 dbus-glib-1 >= 0.98 dbus-1"
+#
+#   and can be used with a template pkg-config file (.pc.in) using:
+#
+#     Requires: @AX_PACKAGE_REQUIRES@
+#     Requires.private: @AX_PACKAGE_REQUIRES_PRIVATE@
