dnl From Albert Chin, Windows fixes from Simon Josefsson.

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 On mingw32, socklen_t is in ws2tcpip.h ('int'), so we try to find
dnl it there first.  That file is included by gnulib's socket_.h, which
dnl all users of this module should include.  Cygwin must not include
dnl ws2tcpip.h.

dnl Windows fixes removed for Berkeley DB. Functions renamed, basic check
dnl remains the same though.
dnl !!!
dnl The original version had fixes for MinGW -- if you need those, go back
dnl and look at the original code.
