Comment (by jaspain):

 I’m in favor of adding the option `--with-botan-config=<full path name of
 botan config script>` and removing the current `--with-botan` option,
 which doesn’t work anyway with botan 1.10.

 If your ultimate goal is to continue having the bind10 configure script be
 dependent on pkg-config, then I'm in favor of simply checking for pkg-
 config prior to botan processing and requiring it to be present. Then you
 can remove the existing botan guessing logic, which is not used when pkg-
 config is available. The `--with-botan-config` option would be there as a
 last resort in case, for example, the botan developers decided to stop
 supporting pkg-config.

 On the other hand, if your goal is to remove all dependencies on pkg-
 config, then I would use the botan guessing logic suggested above (comment
 6). The `--with-botan-config` option would be there just in case the botan
 developers change their botan-config script naming convention yet again.
