Is there any hope of getting xymon to compile against the system

it would be more efficient to use the system-provided c-ares if it's
there...
The xymon build process ends up making a library which the various
binaries incorporate, and I don't think it's dynamic or would pull in the
live system version in this case. I know there's a make option to do a
dynamic lib, but IIRC it's experimental.
That being said, with a few patches for CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS, xymon compiles
fine with the current version of c-ares... The Terabithia RPMs all use
1.10.0, for example.
