My Solaris systems (and the buildbot) don't seem to have inet_aton() at

So we need to find some other way to handle modules that are conditionally included in libwireshark; the current scheme doesn't work if those modules are needed.

I was confused that the Solaris buildbot blamed me for breaking the build yet the comments in "configure.in" seemed to indicate that this was normal (if inet_aton wasn't found in a system library). But, sure enough, it works when libwireshark_la_DEPENDENCIES is there--I'm not entirely sure why.

Maybe I'll have a look this weekend.
