Please autodisable lynx instead of failing

Description

Hi,

When jhbuilding libdaemon on a system without lynx, the default configure flags do not explicitely enable or disable lynx; the build subsequently fails if lynx isn't available, but passing --disable-lynx is enough for the build to succeed.

I think it would make jhbuilding libdaemon and hence GNOME easier if libdaemon would simply auto disable lynx usage. I think the configure.ac snippet is used in plenty of modules, so I suppose it would make sense to do the same in the other modules.

(Attaching a patch.)

Bye,

PS: I hope this is the correct place to report bugs against libdaemon

I merged your patch into r114, but made the minor modification that this option still defaults to "yes" to stay in sync with the current behaviour. If you want "automatic" behaviour you may thus pass --enable-lynx=auto.

Thanks for the patch!

And libdaemon patches please directly to me.
