libpoll has been missing from Darwin from day 1.  In fink, we had a kind of
fake libpoll package, which implemented some but not all of the poll 
functions and included some appropriate headers.

Apple decided to adopt that package (or maybe just something similar) for
10.3, and include it with the system.  Now in most cases this works just
fine.  But sometimes, the incomplete implementation of poll causes problems.

Most likely, imagemagick in 10.2 should have had "BuildConflicts: libpoll"
if we allowed buildconflicts.  Because, as we just saw, the configure
script will find poll when it is present and the results are not good.
