am_with_mpatrol

Integrates the mpatrol malloc debugging library into a new or existing project and also attempts to determine the support libraries that need to be linked in when libmpatrol is used.

It takes one optional parameter specifying whether mpatrol should be included in the project (`yes') or not (`no'). This can also be specified as `threads' if you wish to use the threadsafe version of the mpatrol library. You can override the value of the optional parameter with the `--with-mpatrol' option to the resulting `configure' shell script.
