@majorheading Synopsis

@smallexample
AX_SYS_DEV_POLL([ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
@end smallexample

@majorheading Description

This macro tests for the presence of /dev/poll support in the build
environment. It checks that the needed structure (dvpoll) is available,
with the standard fields. /dev/poll is most often seen under Solaris.

Note that it does not attempt to actually open /dev/poll -- you should
test for errors when you open it and then fall back to poll() if it is
unavailable.
