Configure broken

["Gisle Vanem" <giva@bgnett.no>]

The configure on MingW is broken:

checking for winsock.h... yes
checking for winsock2.h... yes
checking for dlopen... no
checking for dlopen in -ldl... no
checking for sigset in -lV3... no
checking for winsock... no
checking for socket... no
checking for main in -lsocket... no
checking for main in -lnet... no
checking for main in -lnsl_s... no
checking for main in -lnsl... no
checking for socket in -linet... no
checking for main in -lgen... no
checking for select... no
configure: error: select() required.

AFAICS due to configure is checking for socket@12() etc.
Who wrote this? And has it ever worked?
