# 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().
