Dear Jeremy,

I am writing to thank you for opening a tracker about this
problem, which appears to be Solaris specific.

The developers advice is to add  _both_ -lnsl and -lsocket
for Solaris compiles.

Since all the Makefiles for the plugins are generated by
autoconf/automake, there needs to be Solaris specific mods
made to configure.in and perhaps plugin/Makefile.am for this
to please everyone.

In the meantime, others should do as you have and manually
add the extra libraries for Solaris.
