+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CXX_CHECK_QT([qt_prefix], [list-of-qt-modules])
+#
+# DESCRIPTIONS
+#
+#    qt_prefix
+#
+#      Each call to AX_CXX_CHECK_QT should have a different prefix
+#      value (with a few exceptions discussed later on). This value,
+#      usually provided in uppercase, is used as prefix to the
+#      variables holding the compiler flags and libraries reported by
+#      pkg-config.
+#
+#      For instance, if your prefix was to be FOO you'll be provided
+#      two variables FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS.
+#
+#      This will also be used as message during the configure checks:
+#      checking for FOO....
+#
+#    list-of-modules
+#
+#      A single call to the macro can check for the presence of one or
+#      more qt modules; you'll see later how to make good use of this
+#      feature. Each entry in the list can have a version comparison
+#      specifier, with the same syntax as the Requires keyword in the
+#      data files themselves.
