Weak references also work on the *BSDs, and therefore, these platforms need some support in configure.ac.

Beyond this, we also need to change menuselect's configure.ac at the same time, because that one translates a lack of weak reference support from "use" to "depend".

Actually, the canonical name is "Mac OS X".
