This does take care of configure summary (but I didn't even try since
it doesn't help me to include aquaterm), but it doesn't even try to
use "-framework AquaTerm", so it will fail to include AquaTerm after
all anyway.

Of course it installs it into the framework.

It would probably be easier to use cmake, but just to answer you. I
have no idea how autotools work. The configure script currently has

$as_echo "yes" >&6; }
     { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for aqtInit in
-laquaterm" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for aqtInit in -laquaterm... " >&6; }
if ${ac_cv_lib_aquaterm_aqtInit+:} false; then :
  $as_echo_n "(cached) " >&6
else
  ac_check_lib_save_LIBS=$LIBS
LIBS="-laquaterm -lobjc $LIBS"
cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ext
/* end confdefs.h.  */

/* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error.
   Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC
   builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
char aqtInit ();
int
main ()
{
return aqtInit ();
  ;
  return 0;
}
_ACEOF
if ac_fn_c_try_link "$LINENO"; then :
  ac_cv_lib_aquaterm_aqtInit=yes

  ac_cv_lib_aquaterm_aqtInit=no
fi
rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext \
    conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_ext
LIBS=$ac_check_lib_save_LIBS
fi
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result:
$ac_cv_lib_aquaterm_aqtInit" >&5
$as_echo "$ac_cv_lib_aquaterm_aqtInit" >&6; }
if test "x$ac_cv_lib_aquaterm_aqtInit" = xyes; then :
   LIBS="-laquaterm $LIBS -framework Foundation"
       CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -ObjC"

$as_echo "#define HAVE_LIBAQUATERM 1" >>confdefs.h

All you need to do is to replace every instance of -laquaterm with
-framework AquaTerm and check if that flag works ok. I have no idea
how to do that in auto tools.

(Off-topic: is anyone providing Qt support/fixing Qt bugs? I reported
twice the reasons why I cannot use it, but I didn't get any response.)
