This patch does work. It produces a usable configure, which creates 
correct Makefiles to build aide. Thanks.

As Marc argued we do want to provide the option to statically link aide, 
and IMHO it should still be the default except for those OSes where it 
is now impossible (like OS X). Is static linking on Redhat now 
impossible, or just discouraged? Are static libraries still provided for 
standard packages like zlib?
