The autoconf test should be quite simple. Compile a program that calls
one of the resolver functions, and link it with "-lbind". If it links,
use -lbind. Otherwise try "-lresolv", "-lsocket", or nothing
(effectively "-lc"). "-lbind" should either find no library, or (if it
finds some unrelated library of the same name) fail to satisfy a
reference to a resolver library function. The only case where "-lbind"
would resolve a symbol, but not work, would be where the system is
grossly misconfigured by its administrator; a case which Lynx should not
attempt to anticipate.
