I'd say you need to test this with Solaris and FreeBSD, at the very minimum, given how far these changes go.

    Could you be more explicit about what the benefit of using install is here?  Frankly, I don't see the point of checking whether the directory exists first; it appears that install already does that check by itself.

    What was the reason for this swap?



/trunk/configure.ac

    Won't this set astuser and astgroup to the ENTIRE line inside /etc/passwd and /etc/group, respectively?  Do you really want anything more than just a 'grep -c'?



/trunk/res/res_timing_kqueue.c

    Uh, why are you deleting res_timing_kqueue?
