Why are these checks even needed?

I think it should be enough to call
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DRI, xf86driproto libdrm, have_dri=yes, have_dri=no)

If the respective .pc file is installed, all of the included headers
should be installed, too, otherwise the system is broken anyway.

Is this approach considered too radical?
