Hmmm, libwsutil holds the optional targets (e.g., inet_aton() for
systems that don't have it).

At least on the MacOS 10.5 buildbots, nmedit complains if libtool asks
it to export a symbol that isn't present in the library.  I'm not sure
of an easy way to fix that (hacking the .def or the .sym file depending
on which optional targets are being built doesn't sound fun).  Any
ideas?  Or should we export all symbols from libwsutil?
I revert the change for /trunk/wsutil/ to make us able to build for all platforms.

I will look into other possibilities of hiding some functions:
