The colorization based on the string itself makes little to no sense as
the semantic meaning of the color (red = bad, green = good) is not
extracted from the semantics of the message:
1) If there is some additional string a 'yes' is marked yellow:
configure: driver_modules: yes (CFLAGS='' LIBS='-ldl')
2) In some cases a 'no' is actually good:
configure: hal: no
3) Few good/recommended configuration options are still yellow:
configure: QEMU: qemu:qemu
while using 'root:root' would still be yellow.
4) fields dumping config (e.g. the warning flags line) is a giant blob
of colored text which makes little sense
configure: Warning Flags: -fno-common -W -Wabsolute-value
-Waddress -Waddress-of-packed-member -Waggressive-loop-optimizations
-Wall -Wattribute-warning -Wattributes -Wbad-function-cast
-Wbool-compare -Wbool-operation -Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch
-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined -Wcannot-profile -Wcast-align
-Wcast-align=strict -Wcast-function-type -Wchar-subscripts -Wclobbered
-Wcomment -Wcomments -Wcoverage-mismatch -Wcpp -Wdangling-else
-Wdate-time -Wdeprecated-declarations -Wdesignated-init
-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers -Wdiscarded-qualifiers -Wdiv-by-zero
-Wdouble-promotion -Wduplicated-cond -Wduplicate-decl-speci ...
In addition if the idea is to switch to a more usable build system it
does not make sense to clutter the current one with more code.
This reverts commit 4b3ab5d213.

The LIBVIRT_RESULT function takes two or three arguments. The
first one is the name of the result (aka CHECK_NAME). It is
printed before the colon character. The rest of the arguments is
printed after the character. To produce colourized output a
couple of changes needs to be made.
Firstly, we need to print the CHECK_NAME using "echo -n" so that
the new line is not appended at the end of the message. To
achieve this, AS_MESSAGE_N function is introduced. It's a
verbatim copy of AS_MESSAGE (which is just another alias to
AC_MSG_NOTICE) except it doesn't put '\n' at the EOL.
The alias is defined at /usr/share/autoconf-*/autoconf/general.m4
and the AS_MESSAGE is then defined at
/usr/share/autoconf-2.69/m4sugar/m4sh.m4.
Secondly, the rest of the arguments are printed colourized and to
achieve that and also keep printing them into the log file the
_AS_ECHO and COLORIZE_RESULT functions need to be called.

The times, when we had small CRTs are long gone. Now, in the era
of wide screens we can be more generous when it comes to aligning
the output of configure. The longest string before the colon is
'wireshark_dissector' which counts 19 characters. Therefore,
align the strings at 20.
At the same time, drop the useless result alignment. It behaves
oddly - it puts a space at the end of each "no" because of the
%-3s format we use.

Most checks for libraries take the same format
* --with-libFOO=yes|no|check|/some/path argument
* check for a function NNN in libFOO.so
* check for a header file DDD/HHH.h
* Define a WITH_FOO config.h symbol
* Define a WITH_FOO make conditional
* Substitute FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS make variables
* Print CFLAGS & LIBS summary at the end
Doing all this correctly is rather difficult, typically
done by copy+paste of a previous usage. Further small
improvements people make are not applied to all previous
usages.
Improve this by creating some helper macros to apply
good practice. First, to perform the actual checks:
LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB([SELINUX], [selinux],
[getfilecon], [selinux/selinux.h])
This checks for 'getfilecon' in -lselinux, and the
existence of 'selinux/selinux.h' header file. If successful
it sets SELINUX_CFLAGS and SELINUX_LIBS. The WITH_SELINUX
config.h macro and WITH_SELINUX make conditional are also
defined.
In some cases we need to check two variants of the same
library
LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB_ALT([SASL], [sasl2],
[sasl_client_init], [sasl/sasl.h],
[SASL1], [sasl],
[sasl_client_init], [sasl/sasl.h])
This checks for sasl_client_init in libsasl2, and if that
is not found, checks sasl_client_init in libsasl. If the
first check succeeds WITH_SASL is set, while if the second
check succeeds *both* WITH_SASL and WITH_SASL1 are set.
If the library supports pkg-config, then another variant
is available
LIBVIRT_CHECK_PKG([AVAHI], [avahi-client], [0.6.0])
This checks for avahi-client >= 0.6.0 via pkg-config
and sets WITH_AVAHI if found.
Finally to print a summary of CFLAGS & LIBs found (if any):
LIBVIRT_RESULT_LIB([SELINUX])
