The Autoconf 1.1 manual, `UNIX Variants' node, says:

    `AC_AIX'
         If on AIX, define `_ALL_SOURCE'.  Allows the use of some BSD
         functions.  Should be called before any macros that run the C
         compiler.

    `AC_DYNIX_SEQ'
         If on DYNIX/ptx (Sequent UNIX), add `-lseq' to `make' variable
         `LIBS'.  Allows use of some BSD system calls and `getmntent'.

It would be nice to know *which* BSD functions/system calls these
libraries provide.  Should essentially everybody's configure.in call
these, or what?

Perhaps a grab-all macro AC_UNIX_VARIANTS could be provided to invoke
the UNIX variant checks which everyone should be using.  Should include
at least AC_ISC_POSIX (I know personally) and AC_MINIX (judging from its
description).
