# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_LIB_SOCKET_NSL
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# This macro figures out what libraries are required on this platform to
# link sockets programs.
#
# The common cases are not to need any extra libraries, or to need
# -lsocket and -lnsl. We need to avoid linking with libnsl unless we need
# it, though, since on some OSes where it isn't necessary it will totally
# break networking. Unisys also includes gethostbyname() in libsocket but
# needs libnsl for socket().
