[rsyslog] problems with autoconf and configuration examples

Last week, I referred in a very terse way to configure problems; to have 
configure finish its job, I have to remove both PKG_CHECK_MODULES from 
configure.ac:

  ./configure: line 26534: syntax error near unexpected token `RELP,'
  ./configure: line 26534: `      PKG_CHECK_MODULES(RELP, relp >= 0.1.1)'

and, after removing the RELP line group:

  ./configure: line 26560: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBLOGGING,'
  ./configure: line 26560: `      PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBLOGGING, liblogging >= 0.7.1)'

As for the configuration examples, I still find references to
$ActionExecOnlyIfPreviousIsSuspended both on-line and in the sample
section of ./doc/rsconf1_actionexeconlywhenpreviousissuspended.html.

If there is no way to keep the previous syntax running and spewing a
deprecation warning, please do correct all the google reachable
pages showing the wrong syntax... and add a note like
"in the past, rsyslogd supported the now removed syntax 
$ActionExecOnlyIfPreviousIsSuspended"

Thank you very much, yours
