I know, but I didn't want to indroduce yet another --with-cygipc
configure switch, and the run-time detection is just decent a helper.
But my patch is still valid:
   The current cygipc check is wrong when cygserver is running. If
cygserver is not running, it displays a warning when using the cygipc
library.

Later we really should check the cygwin release version and decide on
that. That will require `uname -r` parsing.
Ok?
