+dnl ACF_SEARCH_FUNCTION([function name],
+dnl [m4 list of libraries],
+dnl [action if found],
+dnl [action if not found],
+dnl [test source])
+dnl
+dnl Improved modified version of AC_SEARCH_LIBS, with some
+dnl differences:
+dnl - it accepts an m4 list for libraries to allow compound libraries
+dnl instead of using the other-libraries parameter;
+dnl - action if not found is only invoked when the function is not
+dnl found at all;
+dnl - an optional parameter allows for custom source code for testing
+dnl (allowing to search for functions that are actually aliased).
