As far as I understand it's only an issue for 4.3.3, and it only affects
binary compatibility between 4.3.3 sublevels.

I think it might just work to do a "don't care" here - if configure finds
it (due to headers *and* library being available), use it.  If not, use
the internal one.

I want to vote *against* doing special-casing for AIX here - let them
get their headers right.  strsep() isn't *that* big, just compile it in.
