patch (fwd)

[Michael Breuer]

Ok... consider me an autoconf newbie.  In this particular case, IRIX requires that <standards.h> be included before <netinet/*.h>.
The "patch" I created seemed reasonable to me... if configure is running on IRIX and standards.h exists then source it in.  I'm not
sure how creating a new macro is warranted here, and this patch should only be invoked on IRIX.

That said, could you suggest an alternative which would not break other implementations?

Thanks,

Michael Breuer
