Please review the following change.
On SUSE Linux 15 configure was running into this error, because of a missing X11 header :

checking for X11/extensions/Xrandr.h... no
configure: error: Could not find all X11 headers (shape.h Xrender.h Xrandr.h XTest.h Intrinsic.h).

I wondered about the missing package help output, we should display some hint what packages are missing.
In help.m4,  PKGHANDLER was detected as /usr/bin/zypper .
However only the exact string zypper is checked, this should be relaxed.
Afterwards, the package - help  was working nicely :

checking for X11/extensions/Xrandr.h... no
configure: error: Could not find all X11 headers (shape.h Xrender.h Xrandr.h XTest.h Intrinsic.h).
You might be able to fix this by running 'sudo zypper install libX11-devel libXext-devel libXrender-devel libXrandr-devel libXtst-devel libXt-devel libXi-devel'.
