right, it's removed now.

Hm, the configure script checks for the `kvm_getswapinfo' symbol, but as
far as I can see this doesn't exist in the version of the kvm library
shipped with OpenBSD and NetBSD.. Guess we have to use yet some more
magic to find out which version we have or what system we're compiling
on.. I'll give it a shot and send you an updates patch to test, okay?

Hm, could you put the file `config.log' that's produced by the configure
script on a webserver somewhere and post the link here? The library
detection/linkage is more complex than with most projects, because if we
simply use the autoconf macros as they are, all plugins and the main
daemon will be linked against all libraries, which is precisely what we
don't want..

Great, thanks again for your code and help :)
