I'd love to see such a patch incorporated into PLIB. For the past years
or so, after PLIB development stalled, I've been using a workaround
that looks like this:

for i in `find . -type f -name Makefile`; do
  echo -e ",s/-Dsocklen_t=int//g\nwq" | ed $i
done


....  which I consider as "elegant" but not a "real solution" (TM  ;-),
I guess your's is much better,
