Yes. an automake test will be welcome....

I'm not an automake specialist. If somebody can provide a little patch...

Note : there is an header file provided by exiv2 named "exiv2_version.h" witch 
include the release number like this :

/*!
  @brief %Exiv2 MAJOR version number.
 */
#define EXIV2_MAJOR_VERSION  (0)
/*!
  @brief %Exiv2 MINOR version number.
 */
#define EXIV2_MINOR_VERSION (12)
/*!
  @brief %Exiv2 PATCH version number.
 */
#define EXIV2_PATCH_VERSION  (0)

I think than ping this values in this file is the better way to check Exiv2 
version installed on a computer.
