Initially I was using WITH_MACVTAP for the conditional compilation in 
the 2nd patch, but this seems wrong since code dependent on -lnl should 
have a corresponding HAVE_LIBNL. I did obviously not go as far as making 
the above check for libnl independent of macvtap. I'd probably get it 
wrong. So really what should be done is

check for libnl on a linux system and set HAVE_LIBNL if found
if 'with_macvtap' is yes, check whether previously libnl was found. I 
guess one could check the 'have_libnl' for that.
