Right, the ones included with ares seem to be from 1998...

Oh. This contradicts what David Remahl reported
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-07/0112.html), which was the whole reason I
added those #ifdefs around those #include lines.

Was this an artifact due to David using a beta? I'll get rid of those #ifdefs
again if we don't need them.

The reason there's no config.h made is that you need to run 'autoheader' first
to produce a config.h.in file and you need to rerun autoconf to produce a new
configure. With that done, you should be getting a proper define if you have
that header file.

The adig.c source is only used for the adig tool, not for the ares library so
it isn't that important.

A more clever fix would probably be to add something like:

#ifndef T_SRV
#define T_SRV 33 /* server selection */
#endif
