It might never have made it to the trunk.

Given that 2.3 uses autoconf 2.5.something it would be better to use
the AC_CHECK_DECLS (or whatever it's called) macro to tell whether we
need to declare it ourselves.  I haven't found the time to acquire the
necessary autoconf-fu to do this yet.

Backporting the autoconf 2.5 work to 2.2 is something else I've been
meaning to look at (at least partially for this reason).
