AC_SEARCH_LIBS probably covers this. Probe libraries, add them if
they're needed, don't add them if they're not.

Or I presume just ensure -lnsl is probed first.

Probably not.

You can try going from the guile cvs, either the head or the
branch_release-1-6, and have a look at autogen.sh.
Modest fixes can get into the 1.6 branch, major surgery will have to
wait for the head and the next major release.

No, not configure, but you can advise what's needed for configure.in.
