+fix tslib version check in configure.in
+
+The patch makes sure that the old as well as the new tslib pkg-config
+metadata file naming style is handled correctly.
+
+tslib 0.0 to 1.0 created only a tslib-<VERSION>.pc pkg-config metadata
+file.
+
+With tslib 1.1 the tslib-<VERSION>.pc phase out was started.
+Additionally, the pkg-config metadata file tslib.pc was added.
+
+Since tslib 1.6 the tslib-<VERSION>.pc metadata file is deprecated.
+Now, there is only a tslib.pc.
