+* Correct check for u_int32_t in configure.ac (seems to be typedef'ed in

+* In configure.ac change all CPFLAGS to CPPFLAGS, CEFLAGS to CFLAGS and LDEFLAGS
+  to LDFLAGS otherwise the results of some tests (additional -L and -I flags) do
+  not get used for later tests causing incorrect configure results. Makefile.am
+  was also changed to reflect this. (Peter O'Gorman)
+* m4/gethostbyname_r.m4 does AC_TRY_COMPILE, which unfortunately can pass even

+* __attribute__ ((unused)) is a gccism, removed from libesmtp/gethostbyname.c.
