updated patch for kdebase

Sorry again for the delay; this issue turned out to be trickier than I
thought...

Here are some notes about this updated patch:

* Initially, I tried to use KDE_CHECK_FUNC_EXT, but it turned out that this
would write the missing prototypes directly to config.h, including the #include
statements for the required X11 headers. The latter broke the compilation for
almost every *.cpp file that included qt headers -- I'm not sure if this is
only the case for Solaris. Anywar, I had to give up this idea, obviously.

* I think I've found a bug in kde-common/admin/acinclude.m4.in which turned up
while trying to get AC_CHECK_DECL working: $ac_compile is set in two places
without restoring the previous value. Especially setting "-o conftest" breaks
AC_CHECK_DECL as can be seen in the following excerpt from "config.log":

[...]
configure:35923: checking whether DPMSCapable is declared
configure:35945: gcc -g -O2   -I/usr/openwin/include conftest.c -o conftest
-I/v
ol/openssl/include
configure:35948: $? = 0
configure:35951: test -s conftest.o
[...]

The attached patch fixes this issue.

* I've not (yet) tried to actually compile kdebase with this patch (this will
take some time on the machines I've currently available), but I made sure that
I get the correct settings for the HAVE_*_PROTO macros correctly (i.e. they get
defined on Solaris 9 and undefined on Solaris 8).

cheers, Torsten
