Thanks for the feed back.  It seems our libwrap test is too simple. 
Matt Rice and I are working on a fix to gsweb's configure machinery to 
make this more robust.  Once we have checked it in, I'd be grateful if 
you could revert the change to the example's makefile, update gsweb and 
reinstall so that you won't have to add the test to to each project's 
makefile but that it will be part of the gsweb.make makefile fragment.

Cheers,
David
