I would imagine you're right. I'll try to come up with an autoconf test for that, then.


Oh, don't put yourself back. My point was more for future work in hints.m4
or if somebody wants to spend some time trying to clean some hints out of
there, in favor of autoconf macros.

To tell the truth, I was (sub)conciously taking the easy way out. An autoconf check like that would be slightly dirty: "Is h_errno defined in <netdb.h>? No? What if I define FOO? Still not there? Then what if ..." You get the picture. Certainly it can be parametrized, though.


Right now I was just about fit to burst what with always having to configure APR on HP-UX twice, because I forgot the define the first time, and being too lazy to write a script to do it for me ...

Yah. I'll fix that soon.
