I disagree. The esd-config utility is shipped with the runtime
package, not the development package, which need not be installed.
Redhat 6.0:
urysohn:~> rpm -qf `which esd-config`
esound-devel-0.2.12-4
Are there any other distributions which get this wrong? In a released version?

Yes. And we should also include code to do checks like
(rpm -qf `which esd-config` || dpkg -S esd-config) | grep dev
which if negative sends a bitchy memo to the relevant distribution
about it, From: Jan, of course ;-).
Seriously, I side with Jan, even though this bug bit me. What's the
point of having a utility like esd-config if you can't trust it? We
should take advantage of these utilities where they are available, and
encourage the distributions to use them in a way which is consistent
with the developers' intent.
The Enlightment people would like to avoid being the next Xaw3d---
let's encourage them. It would be nice if esd-config actually
verified the configuration it's reporting---maybe we should suggest an
option for that?, but it wouldn't be necessary if Debian did it right.

It's not like (at 4700-some and counting) the Debian people have an
aversion to creating packages.

Sorry. You're too late.

* configure.in: Clean up sound support.
- variable `old_nas' was used but never set.
- change `with_esd' to `with_esd_sound' for consistency.
- Don't trust the output of `esd-config --libs`; test it.
- Add `esd-config --cflags` to c_switch_site.
- Die if ESD sound requested, but not available.
- ESD is not dependent on X, therefore use LIBS, not libs_x.

And no matter what, I tend to think that a lot of paranoia at
configure time is a good thing. "configure;make" should never crash
because of missing libraries or includes (modulo well-known and
required ISO C/POSIX/system ones).
