Well, the basic problem seems to be that xmlrpc-c by itself doesn't
provide a .pc file for pkg-config, but has its own script for this
task called xmlrpc-c-config:

xmlrpc-c-config client --cflags
xmlrpc-c-config client --libs

So, Fedora seems to provide an .pc file for xmlrpc-c so that this
works on Fedora:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XMLRPC, xmlrpc_client >= $XMLRPC_REQUIRED, ...)

But other distros don't provide a .pc or only provide an old version
of xmlrpc-c, like Ubuntu. Ubuntu only provides 1.06 without an
additional .pc file. So I build 1.17 from source, but that doesn't
help as there is no .pc file for xmlrpc-c.

I think the check in configure.in should be changed to use
xmlrpc-c-config instead of pkg-config.
