relocatable-prog: Use wrapper-free installation on Mac OS X, take 2.
This approach supports relocatable installation of shared libraries
which depend on other shared libraries from the same package.
* m4/relocatable.m4 (gl_RELOCATABLE_BODY): Determine use_macos_tools.
If use_macos_tools is true, use reloc-ldflags and set LIBTOOL to be a
wrapper around the original LIBTOOL.
* build-aux/reloc-ldflags: Add support for Mac OS X, which uses the
token '@loader_path' instead of '$ORIGIN'.
* build-aux/libtool-reloc: New file.
* modules/relocatable-prog (Files): Add it.
* doc/relocatable-maint.texi (Supporting Relocation): Update to match
the recent changes. Document the need to set the *_LDFLAGS of libraries.
RELOCATABLE_LIBRARY_PATH and RELOCATABLE_CONFIG_H_DIR should be set in
Makefile.am, not in configure.ac.

@node Windows sockets @section Windows sockets One of the portability problems for native Windows are sockets and networking functions. @subsection Getaddrinfo and WINVER This was written for the @code{getaddrinfo} module, but may be applicable to other functions too. The @code{getaddrinfo} function exists in @code{ws2tcpip.h} and @code{-lws2_32} on Windows XP. The function declaration is present if @code{WINVER >= 0x0501}. Windows 2000 does not have @code{getaddrinfo} in its @file{WS2_32.DLL}. Thus, if you want to assume Windows XP or later, you can add @code{AC_DEFINE([WINVER], [0x0501])} to avoid compiling the (partial) @code{getaddrinfo} implementation. If you want to support Windows 2000, don't do anything. The replacement function will open @file{WS2_32.DLL} during run-time to see if there is a @code{getaddrinfo} function available, and use it when available.
