+# Helper to bypass AC_ERLANG_CHECK_LIB
+#
+# Ejabberd releases do not download specific versions of its erlang
+# dependencies.  Instead, it clones the master branch of a git
+# repository and asks erl to provide the library version.  However,
+# the target erl program cannot be called from the host. So, this
+# script aims at finding the library version installed on the target,
+# without calling erlang.
+

+Usage:
+        $0 library
+Look for Erlang's library in TARGET_DIR/usr/lib/erlang/lib.
+
+If the library is found, it returns the path to the latest version,
+relative to TARGET_DIR. Otherwise, it returns "not found".
+
+If there are several versions, it returns an error because it does not
+know which one Erlang uses.
