I haven't had a chance to try Ethan's change yet, but I believe that
the predefined AC_CHECK_LIB macro that is used in m4/apple.m4
generates the test in ./configure that attempts to link against the
aquaterm dynamic library. To replace that by a test that links against
the aquaterm framework, one would have to write a new macro (let's
call it AC_CHECK_FRAMEWORK), which could probably be based on the
predefined AC_CHECK_LIB macro. The other thread already mentions two
possible solutions found on the web, another might be this one:

http://trac.imagemagick.org/browser/ImageMagick/trunk/m4/framework.m4

This one seems to be very similar to the AC_CHECK_LIB macro that ships
with autoconf:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/tree/lib/autoconf/libs.m4

Hope this helps,
