Cool, I also would like to see support for pkg-config.

You could add pkg-config for libpsl as well into the patch and check if there 
are any other libraries missing.

Also, please consider using AC_SEARCH_LIBS instead of AC_CHECK_LIBS.
A good description why is here: https://autotools.io/autoconf/finding.html

Here is an example for libz:
AC_ARG_WITH(zlib, AS_HELP_STRING([--without-zlib], [disable gzip compression 
support]), with_zlib=$withval, with_zlib=yes)
if test $with_zlib != "no"; then
  AC_SEARCH_LIBS(deflate, z,
    [with_zlib=yes; AC_DEFINE([WITH_ZLIB], [1], [Use zlib])],
    [with_zlib=no;  AC_MSG_WARN(*** ZLIB was not found. You will not be able 
to use gzip (de)compression)])
fi
