Tiny heads-up: in_port_t defined in netinet/in.h

Hi all,

In glibc 2.2, ``in_port_t´´ is defined in netinet/in.h, not in the
`´usual`´ places. That makes it invisible to the GNU autoconf
AC_CHECK_TYPE() macro. This may or may not be a problem for existing
software packages, I just know my own Linux port of OpenBSD's ftpd went
a little crazy because of this.
A possible workaround:
AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <netinet/in.h>],
    in_port_t ip = 0; , , AC_CHECK_TYPE(in_port_t, unsigned short int))

Cheers,
Peter
