No problem, I think this is the best solution.

I have not tried to build it yet.  Volker reported only problems with
the docs.

checking for arpa/nameser.h... yes
checking resolv.h usability... no
checking resolv.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: resolv.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: resolv.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: in the future, the compiler will take 
precedence
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
checking for resolv.h... yes


It seems that the result is yes anyway... however I don't like seeing
things like this in the log.  Including a check for resolv.h which
actually works doesn't harm and may also be submitted upstream while
someone else tries to include it in future autoconf releases.
