+# The purpose of this module is to define how a check is to be performed.
+# Use one of the Check...() functions below.
+#
+
+#
+# A context class is used that defines functions for carrying out the tests,
+# logging and messages.  The following methods and members must be present:
+#
+# context.Display(msg)  Function called to print messages that are normally
+#                       displayed for the user.  Newlines are explicitly used.
+#                       The text should also be written to the logfile!
+#
+# context.Log(msg)      Function called to write to a log file.
+#
+# context.BuildProg(text, ext)
+#                       Function called to build a program, using "ext" for the
+#                       file extention.  Must return an empty string for
+#                       success, an error message for failure.
+#                       For reliable test results building should be done just
+#                       like an actual program would be build, using the same
+#                       command and arguments (including configure results so
+#                       far).
+#
+# context.CompileProg(text, ext)
+#                       Function called to compile a program, using "ext" for
+#                       the file extention.  Must return an empty string for
+#                       success, an error message for failure.
+#                       For reliable test results compiling should be done just
+#                       like an actual source file would be compiled, using the
+#                       same command and arguments (including configure results
+#                       so far).
+#
+# context.AppendLIBS(lib_name_list)
+#                       Append "lib_name_list" to the value of LIBS.
+#                       "lib_namelist" is a list of strings.
+#                       Return the value of LIBS before changing it (any type
+#                       can be used, it is passed to SetLIBS() later.)
+#
+# context.PrependLIBS(lib_name_list)
+#                       Prepend "lib_name_list" to the value of LIBS.
+#                       "lib_namelist" is a list of strings.
+#                       Return the value of LIBS before changing it (any type
+#                       can be used, it is passed to SetLIBS() later.)
+#
+# context.SetLIBS(value)
+#                       Set LIBS to "value".  The type of "value" is what
+#                       AppendLIBS() returned.
+#                       Return the value of LIBS before changing it (any type
+#                       can be used, it is passed to SetLIBS() later.)
+#
+# context.headerfilename
+#                       Name of file to append configure results to, usually
+#                       "confdefs.h".
+#                       The file must not exist or be empty when starting.
+#                       Empty or None to skip this (some tests will not work!).
+#
+# context.config_h      (may be missing). If present, must be a string, which
+#                       will be filled with the contents of a config_h file.
+#
+# context.vardict       Dictionary holding variables used for the tests and
+#                       stores results from the tests, used for the build
+#                       commands.
+#                       Normally contains "CC", "LIBS", "CPPFLAGS", etc.
+#
+# context.havedict      Dictionary holding results from the tests that are to
+#                       be used inside a program.
+#                       Names often start with "HAVE_".  These are zero
+#                       (feature not present) or one (feature present).  Other
+#                       variables may have any value, e.g., "PERLVERSION" can
+#                       be a number and "SYSTEMNAME" a string.
