Why does the toplevel Makefile process appliance/, and creates supermin.d during make install, whith configure --disable-appliance? I have to double check what actually happens, it seems it causes startup failures if the resulting binary packages are started on a host that happens to have supermin installed. Olaf

configure uses clock_gettime to check whether -lrt is needed - and don''t check other functions. With glibc 2.17 clock_gettime is part of libc, so use timer_gettime instead, which is in -lrt in old and new versions of glibc.
