	Because it is COMPILED IN facility, not external something
	that is run from the inetd, and which then execs the
	smtpserver.  (The way the  tcpd  is usually used.)

	Both the smtpserver, and the scheduler have code that check
	on if the connection comes from an acceptable IP address.
	(which might not be worth of much...)

	If the header (tcpd.h) is present, but the  libwrap.a can't
	be found, it isn't worth claiming having found it...
