[gnugo-devel] Socket support on OS/X

[Daniel Bump]

As I explained in earlier messages today, socket
support can be compiled successfully on OS/X which
can be tested by telnetting into a gtp engine.

However the configure test fails. Here is a
patch that addresses this issue:

http://sporadic.stanford.edu/bump/gnugo/patches/gnugo-3.8/socket_configure_8.1

A better approach would be to revise the configure
test. However if any patch is to be made for this
problem in GNU Go 3.8 it should be conservative.

This patch is conservative since it makes no
change to configure's behavior unless the
configure test fails, and the user explicitly
requests --enable-socket-support, disregarding
a warning.
