Well we should just define these types to be
socklen_t (see the new edition of Steven's
UNIX Network Programming - you can get it
here when you come over if you haven't already :-)
and allow autoconf to try and find it in the header
files.

If it fails (as it will on most systems) we need
a way to get autoconf to look for the type of
the last argument of the prototype for accept()
in the system header files and define that as
the type of socklen_t.

Any good way of doing this ?

Cheers,
