+dnl Check for socklen_t: historically on BSD it is an int, and in
+dnl POSIX 1g it is a type of its own, but some platforms use different
+dnl types for the argument to getsockopt, getpeername, etc. So we
+dnl have to test to find something that will work.
+
+dnl This is no good, because passing the wrong pointer on C compilers is
+dnl likely to only generate a warning, not an error. We don't call this at
+dnl the moment.
