argus-3.0.0.rc.14

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Karl,
I'm having to restructure the configure.in for Solaris, now that I  
realize
what is going on.   As soon as I can get a full development system
on this sparc station, I should be able to get it fixed.

I'm going to scrap the type tests (LBL_CHECK_TYPE), and replace
them with tcpdump's current strategy, and remove the ANSI ioctl test.
That should get us a little farther.  Hopefully I'll have something
before lunch.

Carter
