Hi Rich,

It's fine to remove that, because all .m4 files that are used are
included automatically.  FYI, I did ensure that "make distcheck"
passed before posting that patch :-)

You shouldn't modify LIBOBJS directly.  Normally, you put source (e.g.,
*.[ch]) names in SOURCES or program_name_SOURCES and automake
automatically derives $(LIBOBJS) based on that.

For library names, you should use LDADD or library_name_LDADD.

No.  The getaddrinfo module includes both getaddrinfo.c and getaddrinfo.h.

Thanks for the review.
