{{{
checking for library containing socket... no
checking for library containing gethostbyname... no
I tried having configure.ac check for 'network' but I couldn't get it to work so ended up using LDFLAGS=-lnetwork, maybe someone knows what I'm doing wrong here?

zlib, libintl.h, and locale.h give warnings, not sure why though
configure gives syntax error when check openssl, so I #'d that line out in configure.ac and reran autoconf
#PKG_CHECK_MODULES(OPENSSL, [openssl >= $OPENSSL_MINIMUM], , [CHECK_SSL()])
then it chokes on the libintl check so I #'d that one out as well:
#IT_PROG_INTLTOOL([0.23],[no-xml])
It then gets a syntax error trying to check wx, we don't need wx, so I ripped out that section.
This then allows ./configure to finish.  TODO: fix these issues

There's a case statement in configure.ac (near line 232) where they are checking for beos, we'll probably have to add a special case in there for haiku, but what it needs to handle i'm not sure yet.[[BR]]
BeOS is listed as unsupported since it hasn't been updated for awhile now, but it may work if we can get past some of these make errors.[[BR]]

Previous port work on this was done by Bryan Varner: http://www.varnernet.com/~bryan/category/development/beos-transmission/
