Hmm, yes, I see the point in fixing it in one place.  OTOH, the
AC_SEARCH_LIBS one does not have to be adapted for other systems --
do other BSD systems have a stub libresolv?

Maybe we should have a variable to set in libtool.m4 with a list of
libraries to skip, to stop ltmain from getting messier.
