Yes, it just brings in code to use tcpwrappers (which is basically the
same thing as tcpserver, in library form (well, it comes as a separate
program for usage with inetd too, see tcpd).

The primary reason for using tcpserver instead of tcpwrappers would be
to have access control lists one place less.

Yeah, it should (and AFAIK, it does so on all the boxes I have access
to). In fact, it should have complained about it at the ./configure
stage (sending me your config.log might help).
