Hmmm.  I may have been wrong on this one.  I see this in
acinclude.m4:


 if test "$use_gpsman" != "no"; then
  AC_PATH_PROG(gpsman, [gpsman haslib gpsmanshp], no, $BINPATH)
  if test "$gpsman" != "no"; then
    AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_GPSMAN, 1, [Define if you have gpsman])
    AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(GPSMAN_PATH, "${gpsman}", [Path to gpsman])
  fi
 fi


Which leads me to believe that we won't decide that we have GPSMan
support unless we also have gpsmanshp.  Is that correct?

If so, the text in the summary should probably say
"GPSMan/gpsmanshp" to let people know there's another dependency
there.
